kinda not relevant, but why is it pictured next to a little plastic horse?
i relize they wanna show some size comaparison, but what about an object everyone is familier with like a coin?

we are getting nearer the reason why these things exist

Is this shop online or is there a phone number?

An all-silver version would look wonderful on my bars.

OMFG!!! PON1ES!!!

It looks like a MTB brake.

Needs a hinged clamp to come anywhere near being functional. BMX levers win this contest.

The thing I really want to see is a way to remove the brake lever without having to un-tape and slide it off.

Makes stripping the bars for use at a track a pain in the arse.

most cross-top levers i've seen have this.

I don't think anyone said there was. The problem is this brake ONLY has looks going for it. When it comes to function this brake is more or less completely lacking. Not surprisingly in the way that any moderately experienced person could see without using it.



Cantis are **** compared to V's in every aspect except clearance. Try switching you'll see.

bikkhu - soooo good!

oh, I need a PM for you address, please!

True. I agree.

It seems like most people have done just fine with Paul on the phone... I've just never gotten a response in the past, ever. As for the brake lever, I don't see how riding with it would be necessary before rejecting it because it's a one finger pull.

I wonder if the next trend could be to buy a cheap brake lever and cut it down to a one-finger pull size...

wow it looks almost exactly like my bmx lever!

that i took off my old bmx bike for free.

I just got a pedersen self energising canti brake

I figured you're probably right, so I tried switching. My forks don't have the fittings for V brakes, but what the hell dutret, I know you're right so I can just give it a try anyway. I had to use electrical tape to secure the brakes to the fork, I know what you're thinking, but wait a moment it gets better... realising this would prevent the brakes from moving I actually taped Lego technics to my fork... it looks pretty good and the yellow Lego matches the paint work. After this I added my brakes to the bottom using some old doweling as the mounts, and attached the brakes. The clearance sucks, but I managed to get the brake pads aligned to the rim decently enough. Also had to change my existing brake levers, because they were canti compatible and wouldn't work with the V's, that's ok though, I don't have a lever lying around but I figured I can use a bit of that electrical tape to put the cable on the bar and just pull the cable in emergencies... I'm brakeless, so you know I'm not really going to need to brake, this is just for this experiment.

So I set off, it holds together and I'm feeling fine because I know dutret is right and that these V brakes rock. The bike looks cool too from the experiment, I know it must do because except for clearance V brakes whip the cantis ass. The problem is, I pull the cable to check the brake and was very shocked to see that the brakes aren't very good. When I came round I looked at the front wheel and can see that there is a lot of electrical tape and lego in the spokes, and that the brakes have been thrown off into the distance.

I'm sorry dutret, but the experiment failed, it would appear that V brakes aren't better than cantis in every respect.

try using a v brake with aero levers. it doesnt work. oh ya and v brakes suck compared to hydro discs...so i guess that makes v-s outdated.

as for outdated brakes, try a spoon brake.

Welcome to the 21st century.

hey dumb****, cantis and v's take the same fittings.

Hehe, I actually run road calipers Have you really no sense of humour?

nice attempted save.

I love reading this crap in the morning with my coffee!

Man, I love English humour.
