It seems to me that you BMX guys are the experts on U Brakes, so I'm posting here.

Can you help me identify the brakes I have? I know that they're Tektro, but other than that? Also, I'm interested in seeing if there's better brakes to upgrade to, and if you guys could give me any info about that.

Pictures in album attached; thanks in advance...

That's a u brake under there, the bosses sit above the wheel, versus under the wheel for Canti/Vbrakes. The only other brake caliper that shares mount style with U-brakes are Roller Cam brakes.
