Sirect Mount Brakes?
I am seeing more and more manufacturers coming out with "direct mount brakes". Howe are these any different than any other rim brake?

I can't tell by looking at them if they mount differently or are merely activated differently. |

Direct mount to the frame -- thus the name "direct mount" brakes. https://tinyurl.com/y3z27ovg Some use a conventional dual pivot design and others use a more complicated linkage to make the brake more aero. Mine are the latter variety and have some nice features for adjustability and other features that make them difficult to work on, like clumsy cable routing. -- Jay Beattie. |

I can't tell by looking at them if they mount differently or are merely activated differently. It's a combination of two things. One is the French randonneur centerpulls with brazed pivots from The Olden Days: https://16incheswestofpeoria.files.w...01/dsc0496.jpg Which was, at the time, an actual innovation. The other is 'the stuff we sold you last year is no good. Here's the new one'.

Yep, kinda like cantilever brakes, or V-brakes (which are a kind of cantilever). Or U-brakes, ditto. But trendier. Ya gotta be trendy! -- - Frank Krygowski |

Sounds like Cantilever brakes, V-brakes, Roller Cam brakes, U-brakes, old direct mounted center-pull brakes. Everything old is new again? Cheers |

That was what was confusing me and that sort of clears it up. Thanks. |

That bracket is an adapter to attach a normal brake to a fork for direct mount brakes. Lou |
