Cracked rear caliper and warped disk

[Swany05]

So I had a slight spill yesterday and cracked the calliper and bent the brake disk. The Brakes are Shimano cable disks and its on a cheapo Giant Thermo 1 (Which has served me well) What is the cheapest fix for this? Should I order a new caliper and disk? Should I get the disk straightened (Not likely viable) Should I repair the calliper or just look out for some Hydraulics?

 

Now the only problem I can see with changing to hydro is the fact that I have dual levers (Deore I think??) that means I will have to swop out the gear and brake levers for separate units…….

 

Now I know I will get responses like save and upgrade the bike and better components, that is in the pipeline not right now. So all I want to do is get this sorted in the most reliable way possible.

 

Any suggestions? Any and all welcome

 

TIA

The cheapest way would be to replace your damaged parts, I suggest you put a add in under the"wanted" items as there are guys and girls again that is removing perfectly servicable parts because there arse is itching to"upgrade"to a higher end component,that way you should be able to get yours replace for much less than buying new or changing the whole gear,brake unit. Good luck.

See if you can find a pair of Avid BB7s. Rare as rocking horse manure but bombproof.

Maybe I still got a old mechanical caliper lying around . Ask me again tomorrow
