Description

The super SLR dual pivot design keeps operating friction to a minimum, improving braking performance. The 57mm drop is measured from the central mounting bolt to a virtual point between the pads, which aligns with the centre of the pad at its lowest point.

Customer Reviews

Shimano R451 57mm Drop Brake Caliper is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 31.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hoof100 from Good stopping power Replaced existing brakes with these, as hand operations made hand braking power difficult. They were such an improvement over the others.. Brilliant... Now can stop

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sharp122446789 from Nice upgrade Very nice upgrade from my stock brakes that came on the bike

Rated 5 out of 5 by Hoboyobo from Great value brake set. Comes with pads (quality in line with price), easy to install and hard to beat for value.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great for using with full mudguards I bought these to overhaul the braking on my 'winter' / commuting road bike. Naturally, with it being a winter/commuter bike, I'm running full mudguards. I live in Scotland, so that's a good idea. However, finding decent Shimano brakes that fit on full mudguards was tricky! I read a review of these and they sounded ideal. And I was right! They are ideal!! They seem to withstand a lot of inclement weather with little requirement to service them. I previously ran Tektro brakes and they needed a lot more work to run smoothly. These are hassle free, look great and fit onto bikes running full mudguards. What more do you want? Braking power? Superb. Can't fault them.

Can these be fitted on a Giant TCX 3 2012 model?

Looking to replace the cantilevers on my TCX 3 that I use as a commuter - have 23mm tyres on at the moment and switch to 28mm if going off-road/tow paths. Would these be a suitable replacement?

Will these brake calipers work with shimano slr brake levers?

Will these brake calipers work with shimano slr brake levers, also can you please recommend brake cables (front and rear) which will fit the brake levers. Thank you
Asked by: CPAI
These are best designed to work with standard road brake levers such as Shimano's STI models so they may not be compatible unfortunately.
