The brake that everyone is talking about is the Tektro R556. This is the first really high quality extra long reach sidepull brake; their reach is 55-73mm. It's perfect for those who like to run big tires, and also for converting 700c frames for 650b wheels. While they won't have quite the stopping power or modulation of top quality centerpulls or cantis, these are really well made brakes with a nice quick release and the extra power of dual pivots. This is a unique and high quality set of brakes. Price is per pair. They use modern recessed mounting holes. BR-0009-REC$72.00 All images and text copyright Velo Orange, LLC 2006 - 2009.
