Under stay u brakes are about the most frustrating rim brakes made. Bad location for contamination from chain. Water rusts the post easily, Hands get scraped by the rings when working on them. Poor cable routing requirements. And a fix for a problem that had a far simpler solution.
Thankfully they didn't last long on MtBs and the 20" bikes with them generally don't see the weather and do have more space between the brake and the ring. Andy
