Are there any secrets to those?

I couldn't even find a pic with all the parts.

It looks pretty standard centerpull tho, right?


The main secret is setting up the saddle wire for maximum mechanical
advantage. Sheldon Brown has an article on that for centerpulls and
cantilevers on his web site and there are other sources. Good brake
pads too, the ones with those brakes are likely to be decades old.
