Origin-8 Classic Linear-Pull Brakes are a great upgrade or replacement brake for your ride. Available in both front and rear, they feature forged aluminum construction with dual hex screw tension adjustment for simple set-up.
Origin-8's 72mm Pro-Force Lite brake pad inserts for Shimano V-Brakes (also called linear- or direct-pull brakes) feature a 4-function surface for superior braking performance in all conditions. The front of the pads plows through contaminates on the rim, while the second section "primes" the rim surface and removes any moisture on wet days. Then, the large third section is centered on the bolt axis for uniform pressure and grip, and the fourth section is an anti-squeak compound that eliminates noise and the need to "toe-in" the pads.
Take your brakes to the next level by upgrading to Origin-8's Pro-Force Light Cartridge brake shoes. They feature ultra-light aluminum skeleton-style holders with Origin-8 Pro-Force Light cartridge brake pads. These fine pads boast a 4-function surface for superior braking performance in all conditions. The front of the pads plows through contaminates on the rim, while the second section "primes" the rim surface and removes any moisture on wet days. Then, the large third section is centered on the bolt axis for uniform pressure and grip, and the fourth section is an anti-squeak compound that eliminates noise and the need to "toe-in" the pads.
TRP’s HY/RD gives you the performance and feel of hydraulic disc brakes with one simple—but significant—change to your existing mechanical disc-equipped road or ‘cross bike. The HY/RD (High Road) uses your current cable to activate the hydraulic caliper for more power and modulation than a conventional mechanical disc brake. The dual-piston caliper engages both brake pads when you squeeze the lever, so a crisp, responsive lever-feel accompanies your excellent stopping power. Available with 140mm or 160mm rotor options, these brakes deliver the perfect amount of control for your needs, whether it’s long, hilly descents or frequent, lower-speed dismounts in cyclocross. Plus, their slim profile tucks in neatly for great aerodynamics and minimal obstruction on chaotic ‘cross remounts, so the HY/RDs will only slow you down when you want them to.
