Alans BMX have bundled together for you this genuine gold Dia-Compe brake set with MX-890 calipers front and rear, left and right Tech-IV brake levers and front and rear genuine black Dia-Compe BRS cables for your old school BMX set up.
The MX890 brakes are now available from ALANS BMX as a complete brake set comprising:
• New Dia-Compe MX890 brakes: 1x Front. 1x Rear. Complete with all mounting hardware, (washers & curved washers).
• New Dia-Compe Tech-IV levers. Includes ferrules for the cables.
• Front and rear genuine Dia-Compe cables (now supplied with the correct yellow cables).
• Frame (extra) in a choice of 3 sizes and 4 colours.
MX890 Brakes
The 890 pre-dates the MX-1000 and along with Shimano was the brake of choice before the "1000" came out. Perfect for all 80's restorations especially those bikes dating from 1982 and before (Diamond Back Silver Streak, Torker 280, etc) these were still used into the mid-80's as a cheaper alternative to the 1000.
These new versions from Dia-Compe actually look nicer in our opinion than the new MX1000 and they come in Black, Red, Blue, Gold Silver or White. Match them up with these Tech-IV levers and you have great great-looking brake set that only the cognoscenti will know aren't the originals.
• Dimension: 73mm-92mm.
• Cold forged aluminium arms.
• 210g each.
• Front & Rear pair.
• Curved washers and locknut included.
Tech IV Levers
• A development of the Tech-III, these came out around 1984 from what we remember.
• Also known as the MX123.
• Front and rear.
• Complete with alloy ferrules required for your cables.
• Standard 22.2mm clamp zise.
BRS Cables
• Low friction complete cables
• Die extruded 'slick' inner & low friction teflon lined outer
• Specially made for us by Dia-Compe in yellow with Dia-Compe printing.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are using a Freestyle Potts Mod set-up (front cable through the hollow stem bolt) you will need TWO REAR cables. Please let us know if you have this set up and we’ll send you two rear cables instead. On an 890 caliper it is easy to switch around the adjuster and anchor for this set up.
Why not add brake pads for that 80's pro look.
