Description
Description
Super hard to find mtb brake from the 1990's. It includes the original Kool Stop Eagle Claw pads and mounting bolts, and a silver Onza Chill Pill. Because I can't describe it any better than BikePro did, here's what they had to say about the brake:
"This is a cleanly machined cantilever brake made largely of aluminum with a few steel pieces. It's a powerful brake with a soft feel, excellent for front or rear use. The Switchback uses a unique cable routing to pull the arms together, which eases strain on the mounting studs and eliminates the need for a "booster plate" because the power is already boosted by the concentric wheel design. This brake uses an extra long straddle wire that is wrapped around an aluminum wheel at the cantilever arm end. The wheel is fastened off center so the rotation of the wheel when pulled, is concentric. Because of this powerful cam principle, a small, tiny, little brake lever pull becomes huge rim clamping power."
Condition
Excellent used shape. Pretty minimal wear. Anodizing is not faded, and looks great. Brake pads have ~80% or better life left. One arm's decal is near perfect, the other has minor wear near the edges. Hardware in great shape.
