you need a caliper with a size of about 700

for sale weinmann 700 caliper
-ideal for a 1.3/8ths wheel in a gt, needs polishing

Hi Manlio, something off a road bike is the perfect fit and what you need to be looking for. Like Steve said, a Weinmann, that's normally the best option.

well you might be able to use a 500/600 - but they like a 1.1/8 tyre
-a 3/8ths tyre likes a 700
now reducted to £20
