Aluminum V-brake with parallel-arm design and cartridge pads, mounted on a touring bike rim for all-weather braking

Rim Brakes

Rim brakes (linear-pull cantilevers) deliver strong rim braking via cable-actuated arms that squeeze dual pads with mechanical advantage—featuring adjustable spring tension and pad toe-in for reliable all-weather stopping on hybrids, touring, and vintage MTBs.

Tips: "Never pair Rim brakes with short-pull road levers—reduced cable pull causes weak braking. Use a Travel Agent adapter if forced."
