It was pointed out on the Road Forum that Specialized and others are using centerpulls on their Time Trial race bikes.

an interesting footnote on MAFACs. I read this somewhere, and can't for the life of me remember the source of the story, so take it with a grain of salt, but...
during the '70's, you, the hotrod racer on a descent, would often feel a hand on your back and hear the word "MAFAC". Then you knew that you were braking for two... In an ideal world, we'd all be using hydraulic discs, that weigh less than the air that they displace. Nothing else comes anywhere close to the power and modulation of a disc. They are even better in rain, mud, snow, crap. |

U-brakes are exactly the same design as centerpulls, but the studs are part of the frame instead of a bolted-on part. It's quite apparent when you look at this picture.
