IRD Dual Banger Mechanical Disc Brake

irdIncludes IRD Compressionless Brake Cable Housing (silver/gray striped)
Similar to Shimano S.I.S.Derailleur Cable Housing but higher strength and larger diameter .

The only mechanical with Synchronous Dual Piston Action. Pad-rotor distance is tuneable. 160mm stainless steel rotor.

"These stoppers offer synchronous pad movement. While
not a true dual-piston design, the Dual Banger has a seven-ball cam that
moves the inboard pad and caliper body left while pushing the outboard pad
right. This in theory, allows both pads to sandwich the brake rotor
simultaneously. The brakes were quiet, never rubbed and were simple to
adjust." Mountain Bike Action January 2005, page 66

Disc: 140 grams

The rear model ONLY works on International Standard mounts.

Front brake fits Manitou or International standard.

Uses Deore M515 style brake pads.

Pads are the same size and configuration as Shimano's M515, so replacements are easy to find. Caliper: 220 grams.

$95 front or rear, $190 both

Since 2005 we have offered these brakes as an upgrade on FSRXC rim models to great success
