Raleigh Tuff Burner Dia-Compe MX890 Brake Blue
Genuine Raleigh brakes as fitted to the 2023 limited edition Raleigh Tuff Burner.
Made by Dia-Compe.
Front or Rear.
NOTE: These use a shorter spindle and unique washers compared to the Dia-Compe MX-890 brakes we normally sell.
The Dia-Compe MX-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 earlier 80's bikes (Raleigh Burner, Diamond Back Silver Streak, Torker 280, etc) these were still used into the mid-80's as an alternative to the 1000.These new versions from DiaCompe actually look nicer in our opinion than the new MX1000. Match them up with a Tech-II, Tech-III or IV levers and you have great looking brake set that only the cognoscenti will know aren't the originals.
