Tektro Oryx Front or Rear Cantilever Brake with Standard Pad, Silver

The Tektro Oryx are good quality cantilever brakes. The mounting screws and cable anchor screw are stainless steel. Arms are substantial stiff aluminum alloy castings. The bushings have a captivated-but-free-to-rotate internal sleeve. The internal sleeves are fixed on the bicycle frame's brake bosses by the countersunk mounting screws.This makes wear internal to the brake arms instead of wearing out the brake bosses on the bicycle's frame. Also since these brakes do not use the frame's brake bosses as a bearing surface the condition of the bosses does not matter. The bosses can be worn and/or pitted a common condition for older bicycles but these brakes will still provide smooth free action.
I installed a set of these on a low-miles 35 year old Fuji hybrid the original stamped-steel brakes squealed (even with new shoes) and the Oryx completely eliminated the chatter. Braking is smooth and powerful. Ditch the flexy stamped brake arms and the crappy Shimano Altus cracked plastic collars then install a set of Oryx you'll be glad you did.;

Works perfect easy to install;

Replaced front cantilever brake from 80's era bicycle. The action and side-to-side balance is much improved. Braking force is only slightly improved - still weak compared with disk brake. Had to replace the brake cable due to the different style of straddle cable.;

these were the last pieces of a custom build for a privet client
they made every thing come together. Delivering performance & style
& all at a great price 2-thumbs up
Doc Sprocket;

These brakes look and work very nicely on the new touring bikes we build for our customers. They are easy to adjust and stop on a dime. Can't go wrong with Tektro!;
