Rare Vintage - 1940's 50's CLB Hi Life Brake Caliper With Quick Release
Drop 35 - 54 mmMade In France"Their top product in the 40’s/50’s was an alloy side-pull available in two depths: standard (46 to 63mm), the Competition and short (35 -54), the oddly named Hi Life. Of all the alloy brakes of the period they are the most effective, a fact I attribute to the thickness of the arms and the quality of the alloy which reduced flexing. The brakes soon became a favourite ...with top racing cyclist in France and BLRC riders in this country. CLB brakes were offered as an option by Paris and Stallard, to name but two of the more progressive builders. The Competition/High Life have a distinctive profile, a unique quick release with a cable adjuster and brass bolts "
