Has anyone got a pair of Tiagra or similar brakes going spare?
Modern brake calipers e.g. Shimano Tiagra

I've got a set of front and rear 105 brakes (5800 I think), only one of the units has a snapped main spring which would need replacing. I can't remember if I have the pads but I think I do. Given that only one of them is currently working you can have them both for £13 posted, if that helps

Hi there, thanks for this. I have now sourced a pair.
I do not know this is the right place or not to post my question. I am looking which is best to have, Shimano or Tiagra, I read about it at https://biketestreviews.com/shimano-105-vs-tiagra/ and a bit confused.
Re:
Best brake callipers I ever had on a road bike were the Tektro ones that were 3 part with each side adjustable with an Allan key. Absaloutely stunny stopping power and nicely adjustable, never a single issue with them.
Yes was some time back so things may have moved on but I thought the were superb things indeed. Best side pull callipers I have used.
