The front brakes are pretty good, can lock the wheel if you arent careful.

My I ask why you want to replace the callipers??

When I got the bike the calipers were seized on.

I can repair them at a price and was just wondering if there is an alternative.

No disrespect to the current calipers however sliders are a bit old tech these days and if there is a viable upgrade I would rather spend the money on that.

Just because it's new doesn't mean it's better.

For interest sake; what is the new tech?
