Howe are these any different than any other rim brake? Stiffer and more aero. Lou That's not an answer Lou, that is an attribute. 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'. Direct caliper mounting: https://www.tririg.com/images/store/..._Store_322.jpg Direct mount caliper: https://www.campagnolo.com/US/en/Com...ct_mount_brake -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 I suppose that bracket attaches in the weird manner to the carbon fork so that they don't have to mold in hard mounts. That was what was confusing me and that sort of clears it up. Thanks. Huh???? For direct mount brakes you need two mold ins. That bracket is an adapter to attach a normal brake to a fork for direct mount brakes. Lou And that's an adapter for a rather unique brake. https://www.tririg.com/images/store/..._Store_323.jpg I do worry about the long-term availability of direct mount brakes, but then again, they use standard pads, and my brakes typically do last the lives of my bikes. -- Jay Beattie. |
