I was at my local bike shop the other day and saw a Trek bike with

Anyone know what they were?

Direct mount brakes? https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/e...mount/p/21835/

These came OE on my Emonda. They work well and are a spin on a dual pivot design and not the parallelogram Delta design. I'm not excited about the grub-screw cable attachment. It doesn't loosen, but it is inconveniently located. Otherwise, a fine brake.

No, that wasn't what I saw. These brakes had a smooth body with a
single cable entering at the top and the arms were faired into the
body when the brake was off. The inner working of the brakes and the
cable attaching bits were hidden from sight. As I said, very
reminiscent of the Delta brake with its smooth body, although a
different shape.


this one?
