About this product
The ALTA Front Or Rear Alloy BMX Bicycle U Brake Set is an aluminum U-brake system designed for BMX bikes, featuring a 28 to 48mm reach. This set includes the brake components, finished in black, and can be mounted on either the front or rear of the bicycle. Manufactured by F&R Cycle Inc., it offers a traditional braking option for BMX applications.
Our take
This ALTA U-brake set provides a classic and functional braking solution specifically for BMX bikes. Made from aluminum, it's lightweight and durable, which is important for the demanding nature of BMX riding. The 28-48mm reach is a practical feature, ensuring compatibility with various BMX frame designs. As a U-brake, it offers a specific aesthetic and feel that many BMX riders prefer. However, at $29.49, it's a bit more expensive than some other mechanical options, especially considering it's a traditional U-brake rather than a disc brake system. The 'rear' position is listed in the specs, but the title claims 'Front Or Rear', which can cause confusion for buyers.
