And a combine-thresher corn harvester is a thing of Beauty?



Form follows function.. remember parallel push ?

Shimano tried and failed to make a brake that had a linear motion to the rim.
(so pad wear did not change the rim contact like it does when the pad swings around an axis.)
all those linkage pivots loosened up with normal use & got sloppy.

Magura succeeded and they've been making them in Germany for over 20 years ..

New is a center bolt mounted aero brake for narrow tire bikes ..
