Any bike techs hanging around here? I picked up a pretty nice Specialized this summer for a late season timber company land blacktail hunt. I broke the rear Tektro Draco caliper trying to change the pads on it. Any suggestions on a comparable Tektro rear caliper to replace it with?
 
You could buy a pre bled shimano or sram brake kit. They range from like $50-$350 depending on what you want to get. Your best bet would be to go into a local bike shop and see what they have and could get you if you don't want to spend time trying to find something online.
 
Yeah my local shop only had a $100 shimano rear caliper. Hoping the keep the same brand since I already have extra pads for it.

Tektro actually got back to me pretty quick. Sounds like the HD-M285 caliper is the replacement for the Draco. $30, not bad.
