  • Calliper seizing

    Hi guys, as per title really.... anyone know if they can be rebuilt? Or if I should buy new/refurbished - and also any links to best prices online - thanks in advance

    You can rebuild them but often it's the piston that has at touch of corrosion so once you have seal kits and piston it's about hte same price as an exchange caliper.

    However, the exchange caliper won't have the ///M logo embossed on it unless you're happen to be lucky and get an old unit that's been refurbished.

      I never used the company up to now, but from what I’ve hear Bigg Red do a refurb service which is a good way of getting calipers sorted. They also do various colour finishes. This way you would keep your own calipers with the M design on it.
      Has anybody used them?

        I used Bigg Red on my rear calipers. Highly recommended
