Not quite like a bike, but not far from it.\u201d <\/em>- Lee Borowski, Coach\r\n\r\nThe latest generation V2 brakes are lighter and stronger than ever and have both vertical and angular adjustments so they can be used with almost any binding position or boot size. The brakes can be folded down over the binding when not in use. When raised, a spring-loaded plunger engages the brake so it can only move backward for braking, while a high-tension spring keeps the brake in the upright position.
