Didn't Tektro and DiaCompe made it bitd?

My Muddy Fox Explorer had a DiaCompe U brake.

MRC, WTB, suntour all made brakes that fit onto U brake canti studs.

You can get really nice ones now £££ though.

the campag one was lovely, Euclid I think, but you really want one with a brace, it's frightening how much my stays bend without one.

The Odyssey Evolver was a great U brake (think it was mid/late 90s though!)
