That could be an option, I imagine it would look better than a DIY drop bolt for caliper brake | |

| Jul 8, 2015 at 13:18 | comment | added | Daniel | Thanks Daniel. It seems to me that most roller cam brakes need cantilever brake fittings though, which is not what I'm after. I've updated the question with two alternatives that I've found that are fixed with a single bolt through the fork like a caliper brake. Leaving the question as unanswered a little longer in case anyone knows where I can get a brake like this, as both I have found so far are discontinued | |

Found out type of brake, would still like to know where they might be available

| Jul 8, 2015 at 11:33 | comment | added | Daniel R Hicks | That's a variation on the roller cam brake. | |
| Jul 8, 2015 at 7:14 | comment | added | Daniel | Thanks Alexander, just to point out that my fork does not have cantilever brake fittings. The brake in the photo is actually attached to the fork the same way you would attach caliper brakes... I've added a second photo of just the brake itself, hope that gives a better idea | |

| Jul 8, 2015 at 3:56 | comment | added | Daniel | Only name they have for it is 'long reach brake' | |
| Jul 8, 2015 at 3:56 | comment | added | Daniel | I bought it from them when they had it in stock, but now they are out of stock. They can order it again, but min order quantity is 50 pcs, which they don't want to do | |
| Jul 8, 2015 at 3:47 | comment | added | andy256 | I think I'm confused. How can you communicate with Ducas what brake you want if you don't know what it is? And since they know what it is, can't they tell you? | |
