    Description

    Classic 1080 style long reach rear brake caliper set (front and rear caliper included)
    This is the brake set you need for many of those cruiser frames that originally had a coaster brake rear wheel. The rear "brake bridge" of the frame was really there to hold a reflector and/or a fender, not a brake, so the reach needed to switch to a hand brake tends to be much longer than a regular BMX brake. The same goes for retrofitting front brake - these bikes usually had a taller fork arm with more space to accommodate a front fender, requiring a long reach brake caliper.
    * Reach ranges from about 85mm to 108mm
    * Cold forged aluminum alloy
    * SILVER finish
    * Calipers ONLY - cables and levers sold separately
    IMPORTANT: There is no substitute for MEASURING your bike before ordering. While there are some rule of thumb standard for bikes from a specific era, there are no absolutes. Save yourself time and money and MEASURE first, order once.
