NOS Suntour SE rear canti for £8.99 from SJS

Suntour self-energising (SE) rear brake cantilever

Using the Pedersen designed 'self energising' system, these brakes take the rotation of the rim and turn it into braking energy. As the pads contact the rim, they 'energise' the canti arms, dragging them slightly forwards and further inwards, thus creating extra braking power. Made in Japan...

Bargain from my favourite online bike shop.
They also have black cable hangers by suntour for £1.99

I have no idea where they get them from, but, they have had these in stock for at least the last 6 years.....

Makes me laugh to see people trying to then sell them on on ebay for up to £50!

They really do have some really nice supposedly obscure stuff at very good prices. Have bought from them on several occasions.

They used to be £4.99 … they have over 250 sets left (I asked about buying them all !). You’ll be surprised how many people buy them for £50 on eBay @Tootyred … mostly overseas.

Great brakes, but the cable fixing bolt has a bit of tendency to thread as the aluminium arm is quite soft.

Worth it just for the pads! As mentioned they've has these in stock for quite some time. Managed to get a rear spindle/axle assembly for a XTll rear hub from them the other year!

 

[slackboy]

just don't put them on the front - if you do they become "self defeating"

Bought one from here myself last year.

Great price.

But a so-so piece of kit, I must say.

If I could do it all again, I'd probably just get the regular cantilever version instead.

And apparently approximately 250 customers in the UK originally thought so too!
