Does the Maxima's Superbe Pro brakes have nutted or recessed (hex) nuts to hold them on ? I wonder, because I have a set that has the recessed hex nuts, and really wish I had a set with the older style so I could run them on a bike I don't want to modify the rear brake bridge on. Since I am unsure whether SunTour ever made these brakes with regular nuts, I thought I'd ask you about yours.

Anyone else ever seen Superbe Pro brakes, the version with hidden springs, with regular nuts holding them on ?
