Daytona vs. Veloce Brake Calipers...
Howdy all! I currently have Veloce calipers installed on my bike, and
someone I know is offloading a set of slightly used Daytona calipers, about 1999 models. Is there a major "technical" difference between Veloce and Daytona calipers as there is with the respective hubs, or is the difference mostly cosmetic? If it is just a cosmetic difference, I won't bother upgrading... Thanks! Jonathan Quist |

If you want to upgrade, I'd look to the pads first, that is what makes the most difference. Koolstop salmons or salmon/black are my first choice. Baird |

jcq- I currently have Veloce calipers installed on my bike, and
someone I know is offloading a set of slightly used Daytona calipers, about 1999 models. Is there a major "technical" difference between Veloce and Daytona calipers BRBR Mostly cosmetic. The 2004 Veloce have slide in blacks and toe adjustment, as does Daytona, just like DA 10s!!
