Shimano

Shimano have designed the MW81s with a nod to those road warriors who like running SPDs (and being able to walk around) especially through the wetter and colder months. Commuter-friendly touches include a fully reflective upper strap and other well-positioned details on the sides and back providing 360 degree visibility.

Shimano's new version of their top-level Dura-Ace groupset is comfortably their best yet with an extra sprocket taking it up to 11-speed, ultra-light shifting and improved braking.

Hi Guys Im after a long reach rear road caliper Shimano preferably. Im using tektro brakes at the mo and the rear one has seized up so would prefer not to use this brand if poss. If you have a pair of calipers even better but one will be fine.

2013 Dura-ace Di2 or mechanical? Which do you reckon?

I recently broke down my old winter bike as some parts were beyond use.

The parts that remain are for sale for pretty cheap.

The Shimano PD-M540 is basically a slightly more refined version of the PD-M520 which I've previously described on these pages as "a classic and one of the best value pedals out there."

These look a bit smarter, they're 25g lighter and £20 more expensive at RRP; in reality you can pick up the 520s for around £17 while the 540s tend to be about thirty quid. If it was my money, I'd save the difference and get the cheaper ones, although both are excellent.
