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. -- Jay Beattie. 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? http://www.bikeradar.com/road/gear/c...ries-14-47667/ Trendy: "not your mother's centerpull" Thanks to all that replied. I came across a youtube by accident that showed the brake that I saw. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTWeROZNvcM about 1.18 into the video. One of the REALLY odd things is that the Trek Emonda SL9 (??) supposedly only weighs 10 lbs. That must be the XXS frameset but the XL couldn't be more than a lb more. My Basso Loto with flat kit and full water bottle weighs 24 lbs. My Time VX Elite in the same condition 22 lbs and my latest - the Colnago CLX 3.0 is 20 lbs ready to go. Now without the kit and water bottle it comes in at about 17 lbs and the UCI weight limit presently is 15.6 lbs. So I assume that the Colnago top of the line C64 is pushing that limit to the point where they have to put come ballast on the bike. |
