Identify / advise re: cantilevers?
I found these brakes at the coop. I'm thinking they are Control Tech, some distant memory is telling me that. I also think they're missing a straddle assembly.
Can any of you identify the brakes? And has anyone had luck making them work without the straddle assembly?
(note: It's been a while since I've posted an image to bikeforums--it's not letting me upload my photo, and I can't seem to get the [img] code to work for the image url. Does anybody know why this is? )
Anyway the photo is here https://imgur.com/a/3LJh0Xp

yes, those look like the ones. Thanks. Damn, these are probably useless without the straddle. It's a shame because all the other hardware is here, down to titanium bolts.

Recent 94 MB-1 I scored came with them, they seem to work well but I can't imagine they tolerated much abuse despite being pretty dang cool.

Yep, missing the bushings which are the hard part. I have a couple extra sprung straddle wires in my stash or Odyssey made a Ubrake called the Springhammer that also used a sprung straddle.

Yep, appear to be Control Techs, hope you have all the hardware to go with them. They will not work without every other part I think.
