Default Brakes


I was at my local bike shop the other day and saw a Trek bike with
what appeared to be center pull brakes. The looked similar to the old
Campi Delta brakes.

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.

That looks like a 1980s Rollercam with a cover.

That rear view reminds me a lot of the Dura Ace AX or Shimano 600 AX brake calipers only a bit more complicated.

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.

That is almost an exact copy of the Campy Delta brake. But as I recall the Record Delta worked good but the Chorus did not. And they both suffered from barely opening wide enough for a 22 mm tubular.
