Tektro did the front & rear Pederson SE, they are physically & mechanically different to the Suntour version.

I've no doubt there are differences, but they all rely on the same principle: a sprung arm that's free to rotate on a splined helical boss attached to the frame. In every case, a rear brake can be mounted on the front if it's mounted behind the fork, or if the helical gears are swapped left-to-right.

Here's David Pedersen's patent: http://www.google.com/patents/US4974704

I didn't assume you were replying to me, but if you're responding to a specific point in a thread with multiple contributors, it's helpful if you quote a part of the message you're replying to.

Pedersen made a front and a rear "Self Energizing Mountain Bike Brake":

At the time I started typing I was replying to the previous post, however due to a baby that wouldn't sleep it took 45 minutes to finish typing and post!

Picking up on ishaw's thread and calling all Pederson experts. Is there a way of telling front from rear on this model, because if there is I can't see it. I'm installing these on RC35s at the front so effectively need two rears, or is it just to do with the installation?

The first pair...

The second pair...

Or will I have to take them apart to look at the insides?

 

[ishaw]

I believe you have to take them apart to see which way the 'thread' goes. If you take apart the spare set you have you'll see what I mean.

Question is how do you take them apart!!!!

 

[ishaw]

Not sure about the complete ones but one of the black ones pulls apart as it's not complete. Hopefully a simple task. You'd think it would say on the outside to make life easier
