## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this brake set also include the necessary pads?**
A: Pads are included in this set.

**Q: Does this come with both front and rear brakes or is it just one of them?**
A: It come with just a pair (front or back) depending on what you choose when you order

**Q: Do these bolt directly to the frame or fork or do they slide onto posts attached to the frame or fork as V brakes do?**
A: Yes, they mount onto welded posts on your front fork or rear seat stays.  Your bike frame needs to have the specific welded posts for cantilever style brakes.  They are similar to V brakes, by the hardware and geometry is different, so they are not interchangeable (the hand levers are also different, as they require a different leverage ratio).

**Q: Is the post bushing plastic or brass? Thank you**
A: I think they were plastic, but we sent ours back as they were missing parts in the boxes
