I had been thinking why the rear wheel and brake calipers are different from the front ones?
My conclusion led me to think this rider had smashed the rear wheel and bent the calipers also!
As I feel why would GT stick the silver caliper on the back and have a black one on the front.
This is where I need you guys who know mid school brakes (Dia compe & Diatech)
I've decided to treat the gal to new black calipers, because it's triggering my ocd.
I,m not paying any notice of the front sticker as it contradicts the stamped information 996 990 Honbre?
So what do I need to match the front?
This lead me to the cable attchments which are different from mine as both calpers have the bolt typre screw to nag the brake cable.
The newer Hombre types or 990's 996's have the identical hook in types. So what do I go for to match the equipment or just buy the whole new cable with both hook types, but the newer ones have green caps and green pads, which I can deal with, as i'll reuse the parts from the old caliper in black.
Confused, Suggestions please?
Fixed sorted, just bought FS 990 in black at a good price as long as its black I can make this work well!
