Look in classified as there are some Dura Ace 7800 brakes for sale.You won't find much better than them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepia Posted April 12, 2012 Share 105 and Ultegra - too hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbarn Killer Posted April 12, 2012 Share Anything part that starts with the series number of 5 is 105 spec. So, those br561 are 105 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most comfort oriented bikes with longer wheelbases require longer reach calipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
