Think they went up in price but back to what they were for those that missed it.

Cheers mate, perfect lengths for my bike too.

I can finally lose the Avids I hate so much.

hang on how come the same brake is more expensive below on crc?

One says euro set up the other doesn't but both have the same description.

Now i'm confused.

Yes the one in my link is euro set up, easy to change over. Mine can with 1500 rear hose length.

Ah ok that's fine, I just couldn't understand why there are 2 versions.

I'm guessing the second is longer hoses.

You will have to buy both and swap the levers around MoseyMtb. Still a bargain at less than £40 the set - you will need the mounting adaptors and rotors too. Although iirc your avid ones should fit.

Yeah I have the rotors and mounts from my old shimanos.

I bought both but there is a third link for the same brakes.

The top link above is front and rear then there is another in the second link.

I was confused by this first time round and still am.

They say:
"To be used in conjunction with Shimano hydraulic brake levers"
but then give the hose lengths and specify left as front.

Do they come with levers or not?

I'd be up for just a front one, as my bike only has disc tabs on the fork, not the frame, but if the levers aren't turn upside-down-able, they're probably not much use unless I get both front and rear and swap levers.

Yes they come with levers it says in the description. Buy two, swap the hoses over. Sell the rear one, or keep the hose and caliper as spares and just sell the lever?

It doesn't say they come with levers in the description. It says "To be used in conjunction with Shimano hydraulic brake levers" in the description.

(so thanks for resolving that ambiguity).

I don't need them so this time I'm going to resist buying them just because they're cheap.
