Sunlite MX Side-Pull Brake Set - 69-96mm Reach - Black Finish

These shoes are great, so comfortable, I didn’t really expect them to be this good! I recommend them to anyone who doesn’t want sore feet at the end of the day!! They also match my suit!: Replaced center pull brakes on an older bike, I like these side pull brakes and find them easier to assemble, adjust, and they work so much better!

Robert Shive: I bought this brake kit to add hand brakes on my grandson's 16 inch Specialized bike. I was surprised at the quality of the brakes. I had previously ordered another brake kit but returned it because of the very poor quality of the parts. As with any brake kit, you will need to be able to cut the brake housing and cable to length.

R. IserR. Iser: Did not really fit the front of our Huffy Cranbrook. I got these to add to the Huffy Cranbrook, it has pedal brakes that really don't work well on inclines. When I installed them the only way to make the front brake pad not rub the rubber tire was to grind the brake pad on a angle. About half the front brake pad can hit the rim now without hitting the tire. The rear brake I had to install on the forward side of the bike but it works great. There could be two modifications to make it a more universal fit. 1 make the brake pads with an off-set mounting stud. 2 make the brake caliper longer with more adjustment length for the pads.

Over all this is a well made product and very sturdy. Just be aware that it may not fit as intended.

Lou Bartleson: I swapped out a coaster brake hub for a freewheel hub and needed to add brakes to my 29" cruiser. These brakes work ok but I had to use the rear cable for the front brakes and go buy another cable for the rear because the front cable was too short for the front brakes and the rear cable was too short for the rear brakes.

Russell E. Taylor: I used the front brake as part of an e-trike conversion for my wife - her folding trike's 20" front wheel had a Sturmey-Archer drum brake, but the Swytch wheel that I replaced it with has a motor instead. With no bosses for V brakes or cantilever brakes, and no mount for a disk caliper, I decided to try a side-pull caliper solution, since there is a hole at the top of the fork that was just being used as a fender & reflector mount.

The caliper installed pretty quickly, and reaches around the fender easily. All I had to do was adjust the brake pad position to meet the rim. The trickiest part was getting the tension on the cable right - and extra pair of hands or a cable puller are very handy for that phase!

The pads aren't very grippy - they need to be either broken in or mildly roughed up to grab the rim with less lever force, but the mechanism is quite solid!
