Chang Star or Lee Chi brakes

<< < (2/4) > >>

dancetothedrummersbeat:
The Chang Star caliper in your pic looks a bit tired - If it was shiny like the Lee Chi one, I don't think there would be so much of a difference.. :-\

Are you specifically looking for mx1000 type brakes? If not have you looked at dia compe 890s, they can usually be picked up on here pretty reasonably priced. Also have a look at Shimano tourneys or if you want something cheaper have a look at Weinmanns. All look better than the repop DCs in my opinion.

I tend to agree with you. If you're gonna knock off a part, make it as good as you can. Those Lee Chi are nos though. I've decided to try and go all nos (copies or not) with minimal repops. Digging my own grave here lol.

Ideally I want MX 1000's as they were spec on my build. So knock off 1000's would be better but I am looking at others too. Cheers 👍🏼

Formos made the best Diacompe MX copy caliper quite hard to find tho,arms were almost as thick as the original DC ones,stamped mx was very clean and tidy aswell,crazy thing is they were roughly the same price as the DC's bitd when you look in action bike mag's  ???
