ConsVery tight to fit with mudguards, but that might be my wheel/frame choice.

ProsNice finish and easy to fit, good value.

I ordered these for a rebuild of an 80s Raleigh. The brakes look good and are easy to fit, good value too. Easy to buy and fast delivery.

Pleased

ProsFit straight on mods to frame needed

Been thinking of upgrading the brakes on my single speed for a while. Plenty of room for mudguards and clearance on an 80's Dawes frame with 700c wheels was fine.

Great product!

ProsA great upgrade for an older bike, especially if you want to use 700c wheels

I bought these to fit to a Raleigh frame built for 27" wheels in which I am using 700c wheels. They work great, and look great, and I didn't have to drill the frame.
Very pleased indeed!

Just what I needed

ProsDon’t have to drill your frame.

I bought these to improve the brakes on a classic road bike without having to drill the frame. That improvement is excellent and they look good too.

Great Product For Upgrading The Braking Performance On Older Bikes

I got these to replace the old and corroded brakes on my 80s peugeot frame. They fitted perfect, and gave a massive improvement in braking performance! Would highly recommend them.

Are the pads which come with these suitable for use with steel wheel rims? Thanks

By Brad

SJS Customer Service:

Hi, no, they are for alloy rims. Thanks

Do you know if these calipers are compatible with Shimano RSX brake levers?

SJS Customer Service:

Yes, anything thats short pull.

Thanks - 20/03/20

Will these work with SJS Cycles part number : 38006

By John Coulthard

12 Nov 2019

Hi will these work with the above levers? And what cables would you recommend? Thanks.

SJS Customer Service:

Hi there,

This should work absolutely fine, however, as we have never done this we cannot say for certain I'm afraid. In terms of cable, something like part #38075 should work fine.

Thanks.

Are recessed allen bolts available for conversion?

By William Smith

03 Jul 2019

I bought these from you but I need convert them for the recessed allen nuts. I did that years ago with Campy SR brakes so I am hoping that it is possible with these.

SJS Customer Service:

Search our site for "shimano Pivot Bolt" anything priced less than £20 will fit the brake, select the cheapest that appears to be the correct length for your crown. RT 05/07/19

Hi There, will these calipers reach a 700c rim in a frame built for 27" wheels?

By Dave Clayton

11 Jun 2018

SJS Customer Service:

You would simply need to measure up the arm length needed or test fit the brakes, we do not have a suitable mule to test these on unfortunately.

Thanks

Is there another model with more mudguard clearance?

By Will

23 Jan 2018

I bought these to install on my road bike which has SKS chromoplastic mudguards and have found there's not enough clearance and the mudguard is pushed onto the tire. The brake drop is about 47mm. Is there a model of brake with a 47mm drop and more clearance around the tire?

SJS Customer Service:

Hi there,

Generally this is quite a common issue and we are not aware of a particular brake that allows for more mudguard room.

We have seen some modifications to the mudguard area that sits underneath the brake caliper.

Thanks

I'M Curios As To Why This Nut And Bolt Version Comes With No Brake Shoes, But Single Use Pads?

By Aske

15 Oct 2016

The recessed nut version of the R539 comes with proper brake shoes. Can such be mounted to this version? Also the barrel adjuster is different. Are the two versions identical otherwise, build quality etc?

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

The R539 and R359 are different models at different price points, hence why the R359 have basic quality blocks and the R539 have a higher quality sprung cable adjuster. The brake block fittings are identical so you could easily upgrade the blocks on the R359 to a set with replaceable inserts.

Thanks.

Do These Brakes Come With The Shaped Spacers To Fit The Rear Bridge And Front Forks?

By Graham

20 Aug 2016

If not, can you supply the spacers?

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

These spacers are indeed supplied with the brakes.

Thanks.

Color

By Jernej

Is black color also available?

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

Unfortunately we can only get hold of these brakes in silver.

Thanks.

How Long Is The Bolt On These Brakes? Thanks

By James

07 Apr 2014

SJS Customer Service:

Hi,

With the spacers removed and measured from the back of the brake to the end of the bolt, the rear bolt is 29mm long and the front is 47mm long.

Thanks.
