  • BR-MT 420?

    Colbeck Daniel on

  • For the BH-90. there are 3 versions. SM-BH90-SS. SM-BH90-JK and SM-BH90-SB.
    The SS is straight through for post mount brakes and mountain bike levers. The JK is for flat mount brakes for Road Bikes and the SB is for the banjo type brake connectors. I had a heck of a time trying to figure out exactly which one I needed for the road bike and when I found these explanations I thought it would be helpful for everyone here to see the difference too… Happy New Year 2022
