Description

A full Suntour XCD 4050 rollercam brake set comprising a pair of brakes (front and rear), four finger levers and original Suntour cables. The Suntour XCD 4050 rollercam was the mass produced, budget version of the powerful and short-lived Charlie Cunningham designed brake. Genuine Cunningham or WTB made brakes tend to sell for 15 to 20 times more than these ones, but the idea is the same, and whilst this is a little more crude and has some Suntour designed ‘improvements’ the spirit is there. Obviously your frame or fork must be designed for these brakes, they fit in the same place as a ‘U brake’ but will not work with normal cantilever brake bosses as they will sit too low.

With a wide, shaped cam plate, and a spring at the top of the arms (as opposed to behind the arms on the originals) these brakes are still nicely made as you’d expect from Suntour, and come complete with some nice steel backed pads and original over-sized HardLiner cable set. For some reason Suntour refer to these as a ‘Brake Arch’.

The brake levers are large Motorcycle style four finger levers which combined with the over-sized cables offered excellent power. We also have these levers available with integrated thumbshifters, and plenty more 1980s Suntour parts. We also have the 4050 brake available individually here.
