with a carbon bre brake track, the rim can be heated
beyond the glass transition temperature of the polymer

both brakes,[13] by stopping periodically to allow the rim
to cool, or by tting a drag brake.
Although rim brakes are being superseded by disc brakes

4 2 BRAKE TYPES
2.4.5 U-brakes Cantilever brakes are preferred for bicycles that use wide
tyres, such as those on mountain bikes. (Standard caliper
brakes are problematic in these applications since the long
distance from the pivot to the pad reduces mechanical
advantage and allows the arms to ex, reducing braking
eectiveness.) Because the arms move only in their de-
signed arcs, the brake shoe must be adjustable in several
planes. Thus cantilever brake shoes are notoriously di-
cult to adjust. As the brake shoes of a second-class can-
tilever brake wears, they ride lower on the rim. Eventu-
ally, one may go underneath the rim, so that the brake
does not function.
There are several brake types based on the cantilever
brake design: cantilever brakes and direct-pull brakes -
U-brake on a freestyle BMX bike both second class lever designs - and roller cam brakes
and U-brakes - both rst class lever designs.
U-brakes (also known by the trademarked term 990-
style) are essentially the same design as the centre-pull
caliper brake. The dierence is that the two arm piv-
ots attach directly to the frame or fork while those of 2.4.7 Traditional cantilever brakes
the centre-pull caliper brake attach to an integral bridge
frame that mounts to the frame or fork by a single bolt.
Like roller cam brakes, this is a caliper design with pivots
located above the rim. Thus U-brakes are often inter-
changeable with, and have the same maintenance issues
as, roller cam brakes.
U-brakes were used on mountain bikes through the early
1990s, particularly under the chainstays, a rear brake
mounting location that was then popular.[16] This loca-
tion usually benets from higher frame stiness, an im-
portant consideration with a powerful brake since ex in
the stays will increase lever travel and reduce eective
braking force. Unfortunately it is also very prone to clog-
ging by mud, which meant that U-brakes quickly fell out
of favour on cross-country bikes.
U-brakes are the current standard on Freestyle BMX
frames and forks. The U-brakes main advantage over
cantilever and linear-pull brakes in this application is that
sideways protrusion of the brake and cable system is mini-
mal, and the exposed parts are smooth. This is especially
valuable on freestyle BMX bikes where any protruding

axle fastening, and removing a drum brake wheel requires
the operator to disconnect the brake cable as well as the
axle.
Drum brakes have torque arms which must be anchored
to the frame or fork of the bicycle, and not all bicycles are
constructed to accommodate such fastenings or tolerate
their applied forces.
Drum brakes often have a long break-in period during
which their braking power increases gradually over the
course of hundreds of miles of riding.
