nice, but believe they will come with a price tag ...in expensive $$$ :whistling:

 

Don't underestimate cable disc brakes. I got Shimano Sora callipers which are specifically designed to be used with STI levers. must say very impressed with braking power and excellent value for money.

Where did you get those Sora calipers?

 

I may consider switching from my BB7 Road_S brakes over to Sora, brake pads for the Avids are almost 4 times the cost of the Shimano pads per set (front or rear - R275.00 vs R75.00)
