M16 replacement

My RHF caliper has started dragging, and I am not prepared to mess around with seals etc, the M16 is easily powerful enough for me, so what are the alternatives/good sources of replacements





If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

big red on ebay can do replacements it is easy to do your own I bought a new set of pistons and seals for around £70. you could always go the hi spec route but will be £200 plus

Any motor factors will do you refurbs on exchange.

saves on the postage to big-red.

Motorfactor refurbs will only be about £60-70 a piece exchange.

Even people like halfords usually charge the same as a 'proper' motorfactors for exchange calipers.

I've got Raceleda R16... brilliant.
I've already used big red in the past - with success

I have just changed both fronts for £66+vat the pair, working great.

Local factor got them within 24h, and a £10 surcharge each.
