About this product
The ALTA Front Or Rear Alloy BMX Bicycle U Brake Set is a caliper brake designed for BMX bikes, offering a 28 to 48mm reach. This set includes cables, a caliper, and a lever, providing a complete braking solution. Made from aluminum and finished in chrome (silver), it's manufactured in Taiwan and can be positioned as either a front or rear brake.
Our take
This ALTA U-brake set is a solid, complete package for BMX riders looking for a traditional braking system. The aluminum construction keeps the weight reasonable, and the inclusion of cables, caliper, and lever means you get everything needed in one go. The chrome finish gives it a classic, clean look that can complement many BMX builds. I also appreciate the versatile 28-48mm reach, allowing for different frame and wheel combinations. However, it is a caliper brake, which won't offer the same stopping power or all-weather performance as modern disc brakes. The 'rear' position specified in the input could be confusing given the 'front or rear' in the title; it's safest to assume it's for one wheel.
