FS: Tektro R559 brakeset

[James Fune]

Hello all,

Pertinent to the spirit of 650b, I have a set of black long reach R559s. They are nutted and currently wear near new Kool stop salmon pads (under 30 miles). 

When I received these, the rear brake was exhibiting the slightest bit of stick upon returning to the unsprung position. I squeezed them repeatedly for a minute and the spring seems almost normal again.

I was going to use these for a build then foolishly realized I needed recessed bolts. I am asking $50 shipped for the set.

Below is a link to a picture.

Have a great Wednesday!

Rivendell sell inserts that will allow you to use your brakes on a frame that takes recessed nuts. I've used these in the past, and they work perfectly to adapt the brakes to the frame. One bike's worth will cost you $4.
