A pair of Dura-Ace 7800 brake calipers arrived this afternoon and they were fitted to the Carrera Vengeance magnesium instead of the Campagnolo Veloce pair that's on there. They'll go better with the Dura-Ace 7800 shifters and 7900 derailleurs and the bike was Dura-Ace 7700 originally. It also helps with adjustability (Shimano's adjusters are at the caliper, Campag's at the shifter). One of the cable retaining bolts was bodged, so I replaced that with a spare, and an adjuster was gummed-up so that was also replaced with a spare I had.
Also, a section of the paint has come off near the bottom bracket. Not much, but enough to be of concern given un-treated paint and water on magnesium frames accelerates corrosion and failure. It's therefore been painted over since it's both my Zwift and bad weather bike.
