you get frount and back for the price

Two : One front and one rear

Yes, Front & Back.

Yes you get both front and rear for the price, so a bargain.

Pair, front and back

yes, 2 brakes

Front and back brakes are included

Yes

Yes it Does, sold as a pair. Check whether you need to get longer fixing nut for the front brake. Standard 10mm long nuts supplied. Most modern forks require a longer nut usually 18mm nut should do the trick.

Yes it does. Great value for the pair

Yes, both front and rear are included

Yep!

Yes you get both front and rear calipers

Yes

They come with pretty poor pads. They will stop your bike, but you should get some cartridge ones. i'd rather have very poor/no pads anyway. I'd rather pay for better calipers than average pads.

Yes

YEs the do

Yes they do

I used the front caliper on the rear with a dished washer and the rear caliper on the front with the nut sitting inside the fork.

Check out Sheldon Brown

These are recessed. Unfortunately (for you).

I put this breaks on an old Raleigh 84.
- The front break on the back using the old nut of my previous break.
- The Back break on fork using the Front allen nut (wich is longer) and it fit perfect.

I case of the diameter of the steering tube being wider than the nut. you can put the nut in only one fixed point. I mean bike upside down, long tool put the nut inside the fork (inside the steering tube hole ) that should work too.

I'd to drill out the mounting holes on the frame of my old road bike to fit these. I think it was an 8mm bit I used. They have the modern threaded threaded sleeve with a recessed hex to secure to the frame. It worked fine.

These would not be suitable as they have the now de rigeur allen key fitting.

recessed similar to shimano and tektro

Nuts/bolts are recessed 6mm and 8mm holes needed I think?

Yes, the nut is recessed, so the hole needs to be bigger at the back than for the bolt at the front - I just drilled it out

Yes.

They are allen key recessed

The type of brake cable will depend on what levers you are using not the calipers, ie: shimano or campag or sram etc. I personally like the black snake cables as they seem to be of good quality and smooth to boot. clark cables are cheap and work effectivley but do seem to stretch a little over time, although they will be perfectly aduaquate for most applications where price is more important than quality, just buy the ones that fit your levers.

These will work with basically any road bike brake cables.

All brake cables will work with these brakes.
The difference is in the type of nipple the brake lever end has. Brake cables come with both types (one at each end) and you cut off the one you don't need, leaving a clear piece of cable that the brake itself will clamp.

yes

Yes, I would think so. Some manufacturers often warn you of dire consequences if you mix and match brake components..but I have never been convinced of this with simple cable and caliper systems. It might change the rate of progression slightly when you brake, but you will just get used to that and change your braking behaviour accordingly. I use these with Campag. Its even more likely to be OK with Shimano. At this price I would install and just be careful when you start using them, test them a bit for feel in wet and dry.

Road bike pads. Just buy any that are made for road calipers.

Seem to be standard shimano style road shoes quite soft. Worked fine just done a weekend tour of 200miles with no problem. I have a pair of metal shimano style cartidge shoes I will change to when origional wear out. These brakes work and are amazing value

The 57mm drop will allow you to fit the calipers on touring or comuting style frames where you have larger diameter tyres. If the fork is designed to take mud guards so allowing a greater clearance between the tyre and the top of the fork then the longer drop of 57mm will be required. If using on a more race style bike with say 23mm or 25mm tyres with little clearance above the tyre then a shorter drop of 47mm would be more appropriate and clean looking. although these calipers would still work you would just have more unused caliper beyond where the pads sits.

You need to take a HORIZONTAL line through the centre of the bolt that fixes the brakes to the frame. The drop is the VERTICAL distance below this line to the centre of the brake blocks.
Simplistically it's the distance from the retaining bolt measured straight downwards to where the wheel rim is.

Yes, the screw is on the back of the brake and it has a long nut to secure it to the forks.

The nut was however too thick for the hole in the back of my forks and I had to drill out the hole slightly to accomodate it. This was a minor faff though and just a consequence of trying to fit them to an old frame.

Still thoroughly recommended!
