Bought a Centaur groupset for my winter bike, a Tifosi CK7 Audax. There was no option to buy deep drop brakes but it's looking like they're not deep enough by 1-2mm...
Specs that I can find are: 40-50mm for the Centaur and the brakes that used to be on there say 41-57mm drop which suggests the Centaur just aren't deep enough.
Anyone else got Centaur on a bike with mudguards?
Yes. But the frame and forks were built for me specifically to run standard brakes with Salmon guards.
They won't fit.
Been there tried it with the same group set
Had to fit tekatro (or whatever they are)
Ok, thanks.
Wouldn't be a bad idea for the seller to mention this on the website would it!?
As djg says, use Tektro or Shimano. I selected Tektro as I didn't want to mix Campag & Shimano;-)
Wanna keep it Italian

What, the fact the brakes might not fit on your frame you had seperately, or that the frame won't fit a particular make of brake?
If you want to pretent the brakes are Italian but really Tektros under the sticker try [url= http://www.condorcycles.com/Brakes-Levers/8937-Condor-730-Pioggia-Deep-Drop/flypage.tpl.html ]these Condor Pioggia ones[/url].
Or spend 20 quid on the miche ones I linked to.
Or, if its really just 1-2mm why not just file down the openings slightly.
Worked for me, and you can keep a full Centaur groupset.
BTW, my suggestion does not mean I'm accepting liability in terms of any accident incurred.
file them.
I ran those Grud Road Racer mudguards a while back on my old carbon race bike that had chorus calipers. Worked fine, just a little bit faffy to install.
