it fit on the brake lugs (the pointy 2 litte poles) works best as back brake no too bad quality. you can always take this and you bike to store and they will fit (not sure if the charge for this)

answer 3
if you are having difficulties with fitting your new components, your local Evans branch will be happy to assist. This brake generally requires a 6mm Allen key, 15mm Spanner and 17mm spanner, plus a pair of pliers to keep tension on the cables. They fit directly onto your bike's brake lugs.

answer 4
It's quite easy really, you just need to fit the brake cables into the slots (far right) and then then brake into the brake mounts.

If you can't do it your local shop should be able to do it for free or a few pounds

answer 5
you'll need a 6mm alen key and probably a 17mm spanner, it should come with instructions but in short you tighten down the alen bolt whilst tensioning the spring with the spanner

answer 4
No this will deffinatly not fit a road frame or 700c wheel. This is a BMX brake and most road bikes and frames use a complelty diffrent type of brake system to BMX bikes. BMX Brakes or 'U-Brakes' us 2 pivots welded onto the frame, where as a brake for a road bike or 700c wheel is attached to the bike via a bolt throughtb the frame or fork.

The pads are listed as a soft compound rubber. Any brake you use, depending on how much you use it, will eventually rub away at the paint on the rims.

answer 4
All brakes will eventually take the paint off rims. How quick it does this depends on the compound of the rubber in the blocks, and how often you use the brake.
