Sram G2 RSC Hydraulic Brakeset, Rear 2000mm, Lever/Caliper

Amazing Price and Great Buying Experience

I've had my eyes on a set of Sram Guide RSC brakes for years. At $65 for caliper/lever/hose/fittings I could not pass it up. So what if they are OEM packaging. I don't need a fancy box. Still, it seemed to good to be true. I did a little research on Wheel & Spoke and decided to chance it. I could not be more pleased. Price, shipping speed, communication all excellent.

Great price, a couple of snags

Got two of these because the first one that arrived had a leaking caliper. I took the caliper on the first brake apart and found that the hose banjo o-rings attachment were leaking because there were some metal filings/shavings in the bore where the banjo bolt screws in. Strange, but Wheel and Sprocket sorted a replacement quickly. On both brakes, the pad spacer that comes in the caliper was so firmly attached that I had to attach the caliper to the bike's brake mounts and tap it out with a hammer and punch. Also, beware that if you have to cut the hose, you will need to purchase a SRAM stealth-a-majig barb separately. The barb that comes in these brakes is a press-in type (not the normal threaded, T8 torx head style, like the standard stealth-a-majig barb). It is installed at the 2000mm hose length and can't be removed and re-installed. The red compression fitting from the stealth-a-majig is included, you will just need a new threaded barb. Overall these brakes are still a steal at the $54.95 price.

Shipped as described.
