Shimano Tourney Calipers F&R?

[monkian]

Ok, I just bought a NOS pair but they both have the same length spindles (approx 80mm).
On the back of the arms, one is stamped 88S / PC the other 79S / NF
If I have a front and rear set, anyone know whats what?

Also, can you fit the Tourney Quick Release Mechanism to standard calipers
Thanks in advance, Paul

Alright Paul.

I have a nos rear caliper that is stamped 88s, not got a front to compare it with though.

[monkian]

Cool, thanks man. That's got the ball rolling

Pics ? 

Got quite a few tourneys here I'll take a look at mine.

Are both centre bolts threaded all the way ? 

[monkian]

Thanks man. If you could check the bolt length that would be great
Neither of them are completely threaded. I'm thinking they've both got fronts

Don't know what 88S / PC & 79S / NF mean unless: date / ??

I've got a tourney rear spindle you can have. the caliper got nicked with the haro, but i'd got the spindle on the bench!

I know nothing about them, whether it'll fit or not, but you are welcome to it.

PM me

PM on the way. Thanks man.

The correct length is approx 65mm rear and 80mm front. Both of mine are stamped 88S.

Cheers Mark
I think they were first available from 79 so that might explain the stamps. Looks like I've got an odd pair of fronts
Still, they'll soon be sorted thanks to Mark M
