Dia-Compe DC980 Cantilever Brake - Black
In stock
Dia-Compe DC980 is a modernized version of one of the brand's classic cantilever brakes from more than 30 years ago. The basic idea remains the same, but the DC980 has updated brake pads and individual spring tension adjustment on both brake arms.
The brake arms are made of forged aluminum, and the separate spring adjustment makes it easier to center the brake on the rim and ensure both arms move evenly. Dia-Compe 980 brake pads, a straddle wire, and a cable guide are included, giving you the parts needed for the brake itself.
The DC980 can be used on either the front or rear and is sold individually – so if you need brakes on both wheels, order two. A good choice when building or refurbishing a bike with cantilever mounts and looking for a classic design with a few practical updates.
