Front & Rear This Promax brake is designed for use on both the front and rear of a bicycle. Its versatile application makes it suitable for bikes requiring matching side-pull caliper brakes on both wheels, ensuring balanced braking performance.
Design:
Side-Pull Caliper The brake features a side-pull caliper design, where the brake cable pulls from one side, causing both arms to squeeze the brake pads onto the rim. This is a classic design commonly found on road bikes, hybrid bikes, and some city bikes. It offers a simple, low-maintenance braking solution with easy installation and adjustment.
Max Width:
66mm The brake can accommodate tires and rims with a width of up to 66mm, which is typically sufficient for road bike tires, hybrid bikes, and other bikes with narrow to medium-width tires. It may not fit very wide tires, such as those found on mountain bikes or fat bikes.
Reach:
73-92mm The reach refers to the distance from the brake's mounting bolt to the brake pad. The wide reach range of 73-92mm allows the brake to fit a variety of bicycles with different mounting point distances from the rim. This range is suitable for bikes with long-reach brake requirements, such as some vintage road bikes or bikes with larger tire clearances.
Material:
Alloy/Aluminum The brake is made from alloy, a lightweight yet durable material. Alloy brakes are known for their resistance to rust and corrosion, making them suitable for long-term use in various weather conditions. The lightweight nature of alloy helps maintain the bike’s overall performance without adding unnecessary weight.
Design:
4 Finger Lever Compatibility The brake is designed to be compatible with 4-finger brake levers, which are typically found on road bikes and hybrid bikes. This design provides quick and responsive braking with minimal hand effort, enhancing the rider’s control.
Clamp:
22.2mm The brake features a 22.2mm clamp size, which is standard for handlebars with a 22.2mm diameter. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of bicycles that use standard handlebar diameters.
Color:
Black The brake comes in a black finish, giving it a sleek and clean appearance. Black finishes are not only aesthetically appealing but also provide additional protection against wear and corrosion. This makes it ideal for classic or retro-styled bikes where visual appeal is a key consideration.
Brand:
Promax Promax is a reputable brand known for producing high-quality bicycle components, particularly brakes. Their products are widely used in various cycling disciplines, from road cycling to hybrid and city commuting. The Promax brand guarantees a well-engineered and durable product.
Key Considerations:
Fork Compatibility: The bike's fork needs to have a central brake mount for side-pull caliper brakes.
Reach: The reach of 73-92mm means the brake arms will work well on bikes that have a relatively large distance from the brake mounting hole to the rim.
Tire Width: The max width of 66mm means the brake can accommodate most road bike tires, but it may not fit wider tires like those found on some gravel or modern touring bikes.
