craigjames Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 For what type of brake?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Sorry, U type as found on kids bikes and BMX's. Always referred to them as caliper brakes growing up for some reason! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.tattoo Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 odyssey slim by 4 pads are the best pad ive ever used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Do you mean those? with a single pivot point? I have used regular v brake pads on those brakes, means you can get the pad to sit flat same goes for u brakes (two pivot points) Check out ebay for the spanish fly copies, super cheap!

CurtisRider Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Assuming you son is pint sized, you will struggle to find a lever thats actually kid friendly! You may have to modify an existing one to suit him as otherwise he will struggle with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 You can get hold of kids caliper brakes but I'm such a tart I'd want one that matches up with the other side as his bikes already got a front brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
