A little niche I'm sure but anyway fingers crossed for an expert. I'm currently getting a TT bike fitted together by my LBS. The frame itself is an Argon 18 and about 10 years old (but new!). Anyway, originally the frame would have been fitted with trp 825 aero brakes but as far as I can see (googling!) these have been discontinued and now replaced by trp 925s. The mechanic phoned today and said back brake is fine but front will restrict the turning of the bars as some part of the brake is going to catch the frame if it turns too far. Haven't seen the issue but I'm sure he knows what he's talking about. Anyway, my questions are a) (v. Specific) Is there really such a great difference between front 925 and 825 b) Anyone got a spare front 825 knocking around? (He quoted me £70!!!) and c) If I don't want to spend so much, what likelihood is there that a standard brake (105 or similar) fit on?
