Down pull road caliper brake (inexpensive)
I am building a recumbent and wondering if any of you know of a road caliper brake but has a down pull instead of an up pull?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Don't know about the newer brakes, but the old sidepull brakes could be flipped by swapping the clamp and housing mount. Also, a linear brake can run the noodle down instead of up.

If you want inexpensive, look at the sidepull Diacompe Bulldog available from Niagra Cycle Works for under $20. You can find the company by looking on Amazon.
