I think it's more a function that they used traditional centerpull mount dimensions. The pivot points are different than canti posts. U-Brakes also used a different mounting arrangement for the same reason. They are both "standard" mounts, just for different types of brakes. - Jim -- Jim Edgar [email protected] ³Velvet pillows, safari parks, sunglasses: people have become woolly mice.
