Rim brakes

Rim brakes are essential components in bicycles that provide reliable stopping power by squeezing the wheel's rim. Traditionally favored for their lightweight design and straightforward maintenance, they hold a strong presence in both professional cycling and recreational biking. Cyclists typically seek rim brakes for their cost-effectiveness, ease of installation, and compatibility with a wide range of bicycles. They are a preferred choice for road bikes, touring bikes, and vintage bikes where efficient braking and simplicity are prioritized.

When selecting the perfect rim brakes, consider properties like the brake category. The most common type is the "Brake Caliper," which comes in either side-pull or center-pull designs. Side-pull calipers are often chosen for their modern, streamlined design suitable for road bikes, while center-pull calipers are known for their robust performance in touring and cyclocross conditions. Additional aspects to consider include braking power, modulation, weight, and ease of adjustment. Evaluate the compatibility of the brakes with your bike’s frame and tire width to ensure optimal performance.
