Totally new brake design!!!

Oh man, this sounds painful. Look at the description for this wheel - specifically what type of brakes it can be used with!

Ouch!

What's wrong with looking up "rear wheel"? ;)

No really, I was interested in the wheel until I realized it was a 24" wheel...

So he went from a capital "C" to a small "s"...

One caveat is that you must be on a very. very exciting ride to use that type of braking device. My guess is it's a one`use only type of design. Unless you use an "artificial" version, which is what the Betty's would use.
