Mosclown Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Hi all, Im very new to the sport and just picked up my first bike a 1998 Gasgas TX 270. The bike is in need of a new rear caliper and I am having serious problems finding one. The part number is bt27922001 but they are long out of production. If anyone knows where I can source one or perhaps knows if it is possible to use a different caliper and mounting plate I would be very grateful. Thanks Mosclown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d2w Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Perhaps here: https://www.trialsbikebreakersuk.com/ Or try Jim Snell in the USA here: http://www.trialspartsusa.com/repair-services.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosclown Posted May 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Thanks d2w. I have already tried the breakers. I will give him Snell a shout. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reggie Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 the caliper number for the 1998 bike is BT27722001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosclown Posted May 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 Hi Reggie. Thanks for your reply. BT27722001 seems to be an AJP 2 piston caliper and seems to have been fitted to the TXT. Mine is a TX and has a4 piston Hebo fitted. Do you happen to know if they are interchangeable? I contacted him Snell however the replacement BT27922001/1 is also currently out of stock and it's expensive, between taxes and shipping it's a 3rd of what I gave for the bike.
