Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Optimized SRAM Apex Brake Caliper Set by Justin Butler

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very durable and easy to install

I have a late 80's Fuji Ace road bike that had pretty bad diaper brakes. The front ones kept giving me problems and I was about to take them to the shop when I realized I couldn't just buy new brakes for much more. In addition, the double loop design is much easier to align. I just swapped the calipers and hooked them up to the stock arms. Just a word of caution, on my Fuji 88 or 89 they barely reach the front rim braking area, in fact the pad angle is slightly off. It doesn't rub the tire and still brakes great, but not perfect. The pads are straight, if they were curved like some other models this would be an issue.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Something different
