Product Description
These were modeled after the revered vintage Mafac Tandem cantilever. Includes straddle cables and some cool wide cable carriers (that may be QBP / Problem Solvers). All hardware included.
From the manufacturer
The arms of the Neo-Retro are machined from lightweight 6061 aluminum. Their T-shaped cross section prevents the brake from flexing too much under load.
The brake pads mount to slots in the arms that allow for vertical positioning. The toe-in and angle can be fine-tuned thanks to the spherical washers on the brake pad threaded posts.
The long arms give the Neo-Retro lots of mechanical advantage and supreme mud clearance. However, for smaller frames and those with panniers, we will often recommend our narrower Touring Canti brake.
Like all of our brakes, the Neo-Retro has a sealed pivot mechanism. Rubber seals and a stainless steel bushing keep the brake arms turning smoothly no matter what you’re riding through. The spring tension can be adjusted in both pivots to center the brake and to adjust the strength of the return swing.
The Neo-Retro stands out with its stopping power, high adjustability, low easy maintenance, and classic looks. The brakes come with their pivots pre-greased and with all necessary mounting hardware. (Moon Units sold separately)
Condition
Mint, barely used shape. Less than 100 miles! The arms are in near new condition, one arm has a 2mm ano wear spot on an outside edge. Hardware has the slightest marks. It is missing one of the larger o-rings, which can be bought at Paul for $8 for a set of 4, or probably less than a dollar at a hardware store.
