The new 7220 brake calipers offer a new patented design that will surely offer the demanding cyclist one of the best brake calipers on the market with incredibly low weight.

New Cam-Pivot design increases as the travel rate diminishes, providing braking without compromising caliper arm travel. Thus providing excellent brake modulation throughout the braking process, something standard calipers cannot provide. Compatible with all current road brake lever systems and cables.

• Unique Patented Dual Pivot POWER CAM Mechanism - Offers excellent stopping power and brake modulation.
• Ball Bearing Pivot design All Titanium and Aluminum alloy hardware.
• Beautifully CNC machined from 7075 Aluminum alloy.
• Computer optimized design to obtain the lowest weight without sacrificing braking power.
• Brake-pad height adjustment ratio: 35-50 mm (measured from brake fixing-bolt to brake-shoe-nut)
• CNC machined alloy brake pad holders - Standard wheel pads included Black anodized finish with Red Power Cam.
• Laser engraved logo - no paint or stickers to get damaged.
• Extra Brake nut - 25mm for carbon forks.

Tips on fitting the calipers:
Mount the brake as centrally as possible using the main frame securing allen bolt.
The small allen key screw located in the central barrel which secures down on to the central pivot bolt is to assist in centring the caliper arms once the main securing bolt has been tightened.
There's also a small allen key grub screw on one of the caliper arms which tightens on to the main spring. Once the caliper has been centred using the main mounting bolt, the small allen grub screw can be used to 'fine-tune' the adjustment. By tightening it up, the tension on the spring will be increased and that caliper arm will move away from the rim. Loosen it off and the tension is released and the caliper arm will move towards the rim. It's very clever and kept some of us amused for hours.
