The Racer brake is a center pull caliper brake with long reach arms and plenty of clearance.
It's compatible with Braze-On mount and for short-pull road brake levers.
Based on the classic Mafac center pull, the Racer brake has been updated with modern materials and manufacturing. The long reaching arms are CNC machined with a T-shaped profile that makes them very stiff. The widely spaced pivots make room for larger tires and full-coverage fenders.
Braze-On Racer is mounted to these specially positioned center pull brake bosses, the brake is especially stiff, weighs less and has a simple integrated appearance.
It is important to note that the Braze-On Racer does not mount to brake bosses in the standard cantilever position, and it will not work with U-brake bosses. Please refer to Paul's support article on Braze-On Center Pull Brakes for more information.
The Racer is a long reach brake, and has 57 mm to 67 mm of reach (when measured diagonally from the center mount to the top of the brake pad). This works great on frames designed for long reach brakes, and can convert frames designed for 27″ wheels to 700c, or 700c to 650b.
Note: The Braze-On Racer does not mount to brake bosses in the standard cantilever position, and it will not work with U-brake bosses!
