Title: Brake caliper sizes for Aero Reflex.
Post by: Diesel1 on April 30, 2013, 06:11 PM

Hi all,

After buying my first non Burner, an Aero Reflex ('84), I need some advice on what caliper sizes I need?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Simon.

Simon, I know 901's definitely fit, so anything of the same size. 880's, Nippons, MX1000 that sort of size

Thanks Pickle, I hope you are well? 

I was hoping that the MX1000s would fit.

I might not need to steal the 901s from Mrs Diesel's AP now.

All the best,

Simon.

PS.  How do I get a site tag?  The link I tried in the For sale section doesn't let me go anywhere.

I really like the detailing on the pedals.


I have an 880/901 combination coming.

Wow, thanks for sharing the photos.

I really like your 'detailling' and might even borrow some of your ideas!

I was already thinking of filling the logo on my stem and chain ring and colouring the chain ring bolts.

Simon.
