The long reaching arms are CNC machined with a T-shaped profile that makes them very stiff. The widely spaced pivots make room for larger tires and full-coverage fenders.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eThe Racer was originally designed to mount directly to the frame via center pull brake bosses. When a Braze-On Racer is mounted to these specially positioned center pull brake bosses, the brake is especially stiff, weighs less and has a simple integrated appearance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eIt is important to note that the Braze-On Racer does not mount to brake bosses in the standard cantilever position, and it will not work with U-brake bosses. Please refer to our support article on Braze-On Center Pull Brakes for more information. Reach is determined by the height of the center pull brake bosses, which can be positioned by a frame builder to match up with 700c, 650b, or 26″ wheels.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Center Mount Racer is a long reach brake, and has 57mm to 72mm of reach (when measured diagonally from the center mount to the top of the brake pad). This works great on frames designed for long reach brakes, and can convert frames designed for 27″ wheels to 700c, or 700c to 650b.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eNew in box.
