Gd'day all,

Brand new current model Shimano 105 (5600) front and rear brake set. They haven't been mounted before on a bike, however, the original washers have been accidentally misplaced. Therefore, some aftermarket aluminium washers as in the picture will be supplied with the brakes.

A great upgrade for anyone riding with sora, tiagra or the superseded 9 speed 105 (5500) groupset. Asking a firm $100

All the best,
Brad

*ponders whether $100 could be slipped past GLW to replace brakes on a 3 week old bike*

Wouldn't mind em but probably too early to consider upgrading. Good luck selling em though

They have great stopping power and another set has saved my ass plus ride from total destruction on two different occasions :twisted:

ps they sell online for $150 + postage

all the best,

Just do it.

I've got a set of these on my bike, and they're awesome!

whats the reach on these?

They look like they have more than my Ultegra's.

I have an old steelie that I have put on 700c wheels that I have upgraded the front caliper with a no-name generic that fits well but I know its reach is a bit longer.

Gd'day buddy,

Brad
