Magilla Huh? If anything you want the front brake behind the mounting so that with typical rims which have a slight flare to their extremity the brake pads will move towards the hubs so providing a more controllable inverse servo. The negative servo effect already exists with the rear brake and the consequences of a diving rear brake, with the caliper jamming the tyre, are likely of little concern. Mudguards will prevent wheel jamming with brake mount failure. Jackass. Shut up and listen. In a typical rear brake mount, the directional rotation of the rear wheel pulls the brake caliper away from the seat stays/frame via the mounting bolt during braking. If you mount it on the opposite side, the rotational force of the rim (during braking) will cause the caliper to be pushed into the frame, giving better stability. Your front brake is mounted 'correctly' but the rear brake is opposite and only done that way for aesthetics. I can see you've never had any technical conversations with mechanics and frame builders. I have yet to meet one that doesn't know this...And some do it. Here is one framebuilder who does it (notice the rear brake caliper mounted on the front of the seat stays...this is the same way your front bake is mounted on your fork and provides better stability) http://i.pbase.com/o4/68/71868/1/554...707038_IMG.JPG http://www.campyonly.com/images/modb...8/bike%201.jpg Magilla |

Yeah, well the stuff above was a test to see if you knew what you were talking about because if you did, you would have asked which antimatter chamber I was talking about, the regenerative amplification antimatter chamber or the intertial subspace containment antimatter chamber. It makes a difference. Or at least that's what I've heard. Around. You know. -- Bill Asher |

I know two quite well and have spoken to a handful of others over the years although never about (bicycle) brake calipers. I had more important considerations than this. Leaving components accessible allows for proper servicing without frustrating access. |
