Dear community,

do you have a go to replacement part for Weinmann Symetric single-pivot brakes? Problem is, modern rim brakes don’t fit the mount or are not available with long enough legs for my old city bike frames.

Do you just try got get canti-compatible frames instead?

    Tektro R559 are modern dual pivots that are long enough and come in a nutted version. For something vintage, a Weinmann or Dia-Compe 750 centerpull brakes will be stronger than single pivot brakes, but require cable hangers.
