General Information
The short lived U-Brake on Mountain Bikes. The Deore model was a good one, but for real mountain biking most found that it was not a good idea as the U brake would get packed with dirt/mud/rocks etc. it was soon discontinued and the MFG's went back to putting Cantilevers on the rear.
