SHIMANO 600AX DELTA CALIPERS
- Thread starter FINNEY1973
- Start date
I have 600ax brakes on my bike. I guess, It has covered over 10000 miles and the brakes operate excellently. Perhaps anyone who has had problems may not have them adjusted correctly. I have them adjusted, using the screw, to very close to the rims. I am still using the original blocks although they will need changed soon. I believe NOS blocks are not available and I will have to cut other blocks down.
If anyone has a pair of spare 600ax hoods lying in a corner somewhere I would be interested.

The intention is to use these on a summer only bike, I have read that these callipers can be a bit on the weak side, but that's in comparison to today's standards I guess. I'll spend time setting these up as tightly as I can, good to hear another poster has done significant miles on these.
I must admit though, in the first instance it is a case of form over function - hopefully I can get them operating sweetly.

Curiously, I read that Lance Armstrong used these on a TT bike long after they were in vogue. So, perhaps, they must be ok.
I hope to start cleaning mine this week - Autosol is the plan. I remember that they do need well cleaned around the pivots and them oiled or they stick.
