Cantilever
Brake
In
this caliper design, each arm is attached to the frame and
the cable from the handlebars is modified to pull on each caliper. The cable
loop coupling the two caliper arms provides for equal force to be applied
to each pad of the cantilever brake. Friction in the straddle wire yoke will
give rise to an out of balance force on the two pads. This may deform the
wheel rim and give rise to poor brake performance. These brakes are as susceptible
to reduced braking with wet rims as are the caliper brakes. |
