Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Front vs Rear Dura Ace 7900 brake

Hi-

I accidentally ended up with one Dura Ace 7900 brake caliper and have a question that seems obvious. Are the front and rear brake the same, or are they different in some way? I'm trying to figure out exactly what I have. Thanks!

The front usually has a longer bolt for attaching to the fork.
