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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e Because of this powerful cam principle, a small, tiny, little brake lever pull becomes huge rim clamping power.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eExcellent used shape.  Pretty minimal wear.  Anodizing is not faded, and looks great.  Brake pads have ~80% or better life left.
