Top Features of the SRAM Red Brake Caliper Set 2011
Fine-tuned stopping power you can depend on: the SRAM Red Brakeset.
- Skeletonized Dual Pivot design w/convex washers
- Cold-Forged Arms / Alloy Pivot Bolt
- Weight: 265g
- SRAM compound w/ adjustable cartridge holder
The perfect complement to the Red gruppo's ability to gather and maintain speed, the Red Brakeset offers superior stopping power and modulation in a light, windcheating package. Based on a new, upgraded version of
SRAM's race-proven skeletonized Dual Pivot design, these brakes bring cold-forged aluminum arms, alloy pivot bolts, and an easy-to-adjust padset together for maximum effectiveness with minimum weight. Plus, modulation and power control are feather-light and extremely weatherproof, a benefit of their new high-precision bearings.
About
Rim Brakes
Rim brakes for bikes use the sidewall of the rim to reduce speed, this is done by a pad on either side applying friction against the rim, which reduces your momentum. Road brake callipers have been redesigned over the years and now use a system called 'dual pivot' which means the brake arms pivot off centre to apply a higher amount of pressure on the rim to increase your stopping power. Most manufacturers use dual pivot callipers on the front and rear, but some Campagnolo brakes use a traditional single pivot on the rear to 'balance' the braking power, the logic behind this is that as you brake your weight shifts on to the front of the bike and as much as 75% of the braking force is applied to the front.
