This is free for someone who can use it. I got it with a batch of old tools and I'll never use this so let me know if you want it. Pick up in Caldwell

I was wondering the same thing. Looks like some new technology for bicycle brakes, pretty interest concept. Instead of using a rotor w/ a caliper like a car they just machine the outside of the rim so it's the rotor and the caliper is a set of arms that push the pads onto both sides of the rim.

Looks like lots of benefits compared to a thin rotor and caliper. The whole rim can dissipate the heat and the pads seem way larger. Less weight too as the caliper bolts each fork leg or both seat stays so less forces on one piece. I'm sure we'll see this technology in downhill first although it looks like it may be way lighter than the convential disc brakes so maybe XC will adopt it first.

I was always wondering what the 3rd hand was cause I have a 4th hand tool (which is amazing btw).

Don't wait for me if someone else is interested. It's just a wall hanger.
