I'm trying to buy some Onza brakes.

He has a set of NOS Canti brakes and also the V brake version, I cant remember what they are called, but the fancy ones with lots of adjustment.

The real question is the V brake version of the above. I cant recall seeing them anywhere before, I have no idea what they are worth. The person selling them also has no idea so we cant really say a price.

As I said, both sets are nos, been fitted to a bike but not ridden, now back in the box. I think the pad inserts are missing unless they are in another bit of the box I didn't see. They are unmarked though!

Obviously its very sexy bike porn that I really want but I'm not made of money, but don't want to rip him off either. I'm just clueless, hope someone can help.
 
Re:

Short ones are HO (High Output)
Long are imaginatively called HOLA (High Output Long Arm)

They could be worth millions if the are totally un-cracked :roll: :LOL: :LOL:

Cool at least I know what they are called now. Still none the wiser on value lol, a single used brake went on ebay for £20. that's all there is on completed listings. Hmmmmmm
 
Re:

If you are buying them or he is selling them check them very very carefully for cracks, because that is what plagued them. If they are all good maybe £50 a pair ;)
 
Cool, yeah they are brand spanking new. £100 for a bike set is somewhere around what I'm thinking.
I will be buying 2 sets plus a huge amount of other stuff so will try work out a deal. Cheers.
 
Re:

I paid £60 for mine in pretty nice condition so would say £100 is about right for nos.
The hola version are the rarer type
