Yesterday I picked up a mid 80's Peugeot PB18 that is all original and in great condition. The owner had it sitting in the garage unused for many years.
Current brakes are Weinmann non-aero levers paired with Weinmann 605 calipers. The braking system seems to be very stiff and uncomfortable so i'm thinking of replacing the levers with Shimano 105 aero levers.
- Will I run into any compatibility issues pairing the Shimano aero levers with the Weinmann 605 calipers?
- Will I see see improved braking?
- Should I replace the calipers as well?
The bike will be getting new cables/housings for gears and brakes, new tires/tubes/tape, possibly new levers and all bearings repacked with grease. I just want everyone's thought before I start disassembling it.
Thanks!
