Disc brake calipers
The caliper is the part of the brake that clamps the rotor: the pistons push the pads, and braking power depends on their number and diameter. You need a separate caliper when you've damaged one in a crash, when you move from two to four pistons or when you're building a bike from parts.
Before you buy
- compatibility with the lever: the same system and the same fluid, mineral oil or DOT
- the mount: post mount on MTBs, flat mount on road and gravel bikes
- the pads, whose shape differs from one model to another
- the pistons: they should move freely, with no traces of fluid around them
- the fittings (olive and insert) needed when connecting the hose
Shimano has the most calipers on Biklo, followed by Magura, SRAM, Avid and Formula. After fitting, the caliper is bled together with the lever; if you don't have the tools, ask a workshop for help. Calipers are small and travel easily by courier or to a parcel locker.
Questions about brake calipers
How much does a brake caliper cost?
The typical price on Biklo is $67. Mechanical and basic hydraulic calipers are cheap, while four-piston calipers from Shimano, Magura or SRAM cost more.
Can I combine a Shimano caliper with a SRAM lever?
No: Shimano uses mineral oil, SRAM uses DOT fluid, and the seals can't handle the other fluid. On top of that, the ratio between the lever and caliper pistons differs from one system to another.
My caliper rubs the rotor. Does it need replacing?
Not necessarily: most of the time it's enough to re-centre the caliper, clean the pistons or true the rotor. Replace it if the pistons no longer retract or if it leaks fluid.
