A side pull is whats on most cheap bikes now a days. It is two arms together to form an upside down U. The pull for the arms is on the right side and it pulls from the top. In the 80's a lot of bmxers ran Strong thick alloy "Dia-Comp" Side-pulls. They worked well enough because they made them thick and strong so they flexed less. Still U-brakes are the way to go.
