Interloc Racing IRD Widget Brake -Black - Drilled - Linear Pull (missing cone)

Rare version of the Interloc Switchback brake with a "widget" cam mechanism instead of the loop and pulley straddle cables.  It was introduced in 1989, and somewhere in the early 1990's they added three holes to each arm. These are very similar to the Paul Crosstop, and probably was inspired by Charlie Cunningham's WTB Toggle Cam.

Via Bikepro: This uniquely designed brake solves problems in cable routing that many rear or front suspension systems have difficulties with. The brake cable housing runs straight from the lever to one arm of the cantilever. A cam and pivot mechanism on the arm the cable is fastened to combined with a solid rod linkage joining the other brake arm open and close both arms simultaneously with lever activation. Put another way, this brake with its mechanical linkage eliminates the effect of the rear suspension travel on the brake wire's tension.

Condition

Great used shape. It is missing one convex cone/washer for the pad holder system, which could likely be made to work with a part from another canti brake. Pretty minimal wear.  Anodizing on the arms looks great with some minor wear. No fading. Hardware is pretty clean with only light wrench marks on the tension nuts. No mounting bolts
