Hivemind,

I need a rear calliper as mine is sticking,

It needs to be long drop and compatible with shimano 2300 STI levers and reasonably cheap for my commuter

Any suggestions?

    How about simply cleaning the existing caliper? They are easy enough to strip down to their component parts and maintenance is better than replacement. There's not really much to break in a caliper. Besides, are you sure it is the caliper rather than the cables?

    I have stripped the caliper back, cleaned and greased were appropriate and changed the cables and it is still knackered.
