The Dia-Compe 988 Cantilever brake caliper is a black bicycle brake designed for BMX or MTB applications. This component is specified as a brake shoe with a non-threaded post and weighs 8.000 ounces. It is a genuine Dia-Compe part for bicycles utilizing cantilever braking systems.
Our take
If you're in the market for a cantilever brake, this Dia-Compe 988 caliper in black is a straightforward, no-frills option. It's intended for BMX or MTB use, which aligns with the cantilever brake type. The description as a "Brake Shoe - Non-Threaded Post" might be a bit confusing for those expecting a full caliper, so be sure you understand what you're getting. At 8.000 ounces, if it's a single unit, it's not the lightest, but the black finish offers a versatile look that should blend with most bike colors. It's a reliable choice for maintaining or restoring bikes with this braking standard.
