This color matches perfect to retro 1990's ano components in 3DV purple.  These are the long pull version, designed for use with v-brake levers or cyclocross levers meant for v\/disc.  These present a convincing argument for mechanical discs over hydraulic, as their power and  modulation are quite similar.  As far as mechanicals go, they're by far the best I've ridden, easily beating the BB7 and TRP Spyre.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eFrom the manufacturer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we set out to build this brake, nearly four years ago, we started with a clean slate. Then we tried all manner of wacky ideas but eventually wound our way back to the tried and true ball bearing in a ramp system. From there we concentrated on the details. We made the balls bigger for smoothness and increased pad travel. We hardened the steel where the balls contact the ramps. We used three hardened steel pins to locate the pad actuator. Instead of a plastic thrust washer we used a flat needle roller thrust bearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThen we moved onto the caliper body. This took countless drawing revisions and probably 20 prototypes. We added “fangs” to the inner backing plate for stiffness, and beefed up the outer caliper body where needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe pad adjusters went through a similar process. We wanted easy adjustability but staying power. For that we designed detents into the circumference, located with spring ball plungers.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe decided not to make rotors. That’s a manufacturing process we do not do, and they are readily available. Floating rotors with large buttons (like Hope) might rub against the caliper, but we’ve had great results with Shimano Ice-Tech, Sram, Avid, and most other rotor brands. The pads are Kool Stop sintered metallic.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAs always, allow a couple short rides to bed in the pads. Around the 3rd ride, these brakes really start to BITE!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePlease note that all of our brakes are sold per wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eBRAND NEW in retail package\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eLong pull arm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e3DV Purple Anodized\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eOne brake (several available, order two if you need to equip a front and rear wheel)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eI.S. post mount\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eIncludes pads\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eMSRP: $120 per brake\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Paul","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53146110656652,"sku":"8387","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0785\/5144\/9740\/files\/paul_klamper_long_pull_disc_brake_caliper_purple__79739.1552688571.1280.1280.jpg?v=1791214982","url":"https:\/\/swooncycles.com\/products\/3dv-purple-paul-klamper-mechanical-disc-brake-long-pull-for-mtb-levers-new","provider":"Swoon Cycles (Bike ReCyclery)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
