Dia-Compe BRS202 Front Brake - Black

Dia-Compe BRS202 is a front brake for riders who need a proper long-reach caliper but still want good stopping power and a clean, classic look. It is particularly well suited to commuter bikes, older steel frames, and other builds where the distance between the fork's brake mount and the rim is greater than a standard road caliper can accommodate.

The BRS202 has a 57–75 mm reach and a modern dual-pivot design that provides good stopping power and clear feedback at the brake lever. The brake arms are cold-forged from aluminum to keep the weight down while providing a stiff design when braking hard.

The Quick Release mechanism makes it easy to open the brake arms when removing the front wheel, without having to loosen the brake cable. Dia-Compe 101 brake pads are included, and the black anodized finish makes the brake just as suitable for a modern commuter build as for a classic steel road bike.

The important thing to check before purchasing is the reach your bike needs. Measure from the center of the brake bolt hole in the fork crown to the middle of the rim's braking surface. If the measurement is between 57 and 75 mm, the BRS202 is designed for the right range.
