not sure if this is just the caliper or the caliper, lever and hose...seems like a good bargain though...

As on previous PSA;

Got mine, swapped the levers without bother, Rear hose was long enough for my Missus 15" frame, front was too short for her 100mm fork though so I ended up swapping the front for an older Deore brake off of my SS which has a longer hose.

Overall it was a net win but be prepared to change a hose or two (Still a bargain even if you do have to swap a hose IMO)...

Surprized they're still flogging them, might get another pair for spares...

Got my front brake through, as said my lever was the wrong way round but if you buy the pair you can swap them over! 🙂

word of warning. Love the brakes. But i swapped my hoses over and gave them a proper outing the other day. Although I thought they were fine they deffo need a re-bleed. Not a problem as I have new hoses to go on anyway. I should add that I didn't top up the resovour either which would probably help.
