Classic Rene Herse Cantilever Braze-ons

We now offer classic Rene Herse cantilever brakes and the brazed-on pivots to mount them on a bike. The pivots include pre-mitered L-shaped guards that prevented brake arms from rotating into the spokes.

On 1940s bikes, the pivots had holes drilled at the bottom to accept the end of the springs. On later bikes, the springs simply hooked behind the L-shaped guards. These pivots are undrilled, so they can be used for either style.

Pro Tip: These posts are not designed for modern cantilever brakes. Current Rene Herse cantilever brakes use standard cantilever posts, which are available from many framebuilding suppliers.

Sold in sets of two (for one brake). Limited supply.
