They're guides, intended to guide the tire between the brake pads as your mechanic from the follow car changes your flat tubular in mere seconds.

Interesting, never even seen those before. Now I need to pay closer attention.

You see them on higher end road brakes like Dura Ace and Ultegra.

Ironically enough, I have ultegra brakes on my cannondale. I guess they're similar, just not as big. I didn't put two and two together that they're the same thing.

Oh man. The polished rims against the all black tires and bar tape. Classy.
Oh, and the brake lever is on the right (correct) side too.
