I have the deluxe on my Iribe keirin bike. It works great, and has wing nuts which makes the brake really easy to remove at the track. chris ioakimedes Fairfax California

Some people were asking about the clamp on rear brake for track bikes that is available in Japan. I checked on it. They have two types, a regular and a *deluxe* model. The regular is a DiaCompe caliper and the deluxe is a Shimano. I believe that the lever is a nondescript type that comes with both models. Then there is the cable and clamping plates that comes along with them. The regular type is about $22, and the deluxe is $52.
