Ebay seems to give huge variation. I have built up a set for a pal from my spares pile. Old mini levers and slightly more recent mini post mount calipers in silver. All fully bled and new pads in them. Old plastic hoses. I cannot remember what I paid but the new pads were around £15 a a pair IIRC

Help me out please

Sold my front set about 7 years ago. Think they went for around £70. That included the rotor as well.

Just sold a set of 2008 minis - newer levers and post mount calipers - for £115 on eBay.

I bought a set off here last year with post mount calipers and the more modern levers for £40. The front lever was sticking so needed a rebuild and the levers are a bit tatty but they work fine.

I think the lever rebuild kit was around £10 so they stand me at about £50. eBay prices are higher but personally I'd not spend more than £60 for a set in good used condition.

blimey that's a lot. I have at least a front mini (not even mono mini) and wouldn't have expected that much. They are solid brakes though.

I would go for 'it depends on how much of a mate he is'.

First person I would ring if I hurt myself badly while riding alone - £0

Ride once a week with - £30 (cost of pads)

From down the road and have borrowed his ladder a few times - £50

Went to school with his older brother - £90

Facebook friend - £120

Facebook friend but have to mute due to EDL / Brexit  - £300
