Fouriers BR-S005 for Propel and Envie Rim Brakes

Expensive, but good upgrade

I have bought these for my Giant propel SL3 (2014). The original brakes were not compatible with my new wheels which have a rim width of 24 mm. Although there was enough room, I could not get the brake pads aligned with the brake surface of the wheels because the adjustment hole of the brake pads was too narrow. With the new Fourier brakes, plenty of space is present for adjustment. Setting up is easy and I would suggests replacing gear cables as well. The delivery was fast, even for abroad deliveries (Ireland). Overall great product but a bit pricey. Also, the box didn't mention whether the brake pads are suitable for carbon brake surfaces.

Excellent upgrade from the TRP SL Ti proprietary brakes.

I broke one of the TRP SL Ti brakes on my Propel SL & so the obvious choice was to replace the lot with the Fouriers. (My wife thinks I broke it on purpose!) I had read that the Fouriers were only a noticible upgrade from the pre-2015 TRP equivalent & not the later TRP SL Ti versions............I beg to differ! The Fouriers are superb by comparison! Ease of set up, stronger tension springs, better modulation & much more powerful braking! I should have broken my TRP ones sooner!

very quick delivery

only non ebay place to source these and very quick delivery

only option i had if wanting to use 25 mm tyres

my giant propel sl 2014 had brakes that as well as being not great wouldnt allow 25mm tyres and the fouriers are much more responsive easier to adjust and fit 25mm tyres so alls good

Really well manufactured parts, that give me the clearance to run 25mm tyres on the propel.
