Bike looks great! What skewers are those?

Having a disc road frame myself, I'm glad to see more options for brakes. Unfortunate that you can't run a 160 or even 140 in the rear though. Maybe a custom bracket is in order :wink:

the skewers are from Krex, Ti bolt, weight 45g.
my original setting is f160/r160, if i replaced with the spyre, then 140or 160 are fine.

do you have a link or contact for the Juin R1 brakes ? I have searched the web but except for a store in UK they are hard to find...

I would be interested in getting a set for my cyclocross/commuter bike 160 front and 140 rear.

thanks!

well, i think you can wrote them mail to their sales ,Candice <candy335c@yahoo.com.tw>
yes, seems not much in the international dealer now,
as it's a local manufacture, it's easy for me to get it.

i thick it's about 25c maximum, i put 23c in and there are about 3mm space left only.
this one is not for cyclocross at all.

I can see that your last post was almost 10 months ago...but that's actually great for my question! I'm searching for long therm real world experience on these Juin hybrid calipers, I'm considering for my Mtb. So...anything you can share?

I had that discussion about these brakes over 1 year ago and someone expressed concern with the low volume oil chamber since its only on the caliper... and that could cause the caliper and pads to get hot really quick....is that something that you have experienced before?

Sry, those big rotors are hideous for roadbike.
