If you have an old road bike that takes a nutted brake mounting post, then these are the way to go. Unless you absolutely have to keep those crusty old centerpulls on there, there's no real reason not to upgrade to these Tektros. They're great because they allow you to run a fatter tire on your 700c/27" bike, and be able to remove and reinstall the wheels with 0 grief- the brake QR works smoothly and effortlessly. The brakes mount up easily and are quickly centered. There's a lot of up-and-down adjustability for the brake pads, allowing for many tire/rim choices.

I needed a set of nutted long reach calipers for an old steel bicycle and these fit perfectly. I switched to 700c wheels for a bigger selection of tires so I needed the long reach brakes. The silver finish is flawless and looks sharp on the old bike. Also much better stopping power than the Weinmann center pull brakes I was using, makes a safer bike too.

A great way to update vintage bikes that require really long reach calipers. They are needed if you update to SIS levers, as the old Wienman center-pulls don't have the mechanical advantage. And they will reach for an older frame originally designed for 27" wheels and retrofitted to 700c. Available with nutted or recessed allens.
