Side Pull Brakes for Schwinn Delmar

[WaterDog]

Id like to use the fork hole that holds my front fender and install some side pull brakes that fit properly on a cruiser. Anybody have a link or brand that has worked on a Schwinn Delmar? A quick internet search and I found kits like this...Is this what I should be looking for? http://www.niagaracycle.com/product_info.php?products_id=10072

depends how wide the tires are. those brakes look really cheap, might want to go with something a bit higher quality, safety first and all that good stuff. As long as you can find a style large enough to fit around the cruiser wheel, those should be what you are looking for. Make sure it specifically says "Made for larger, cruiser tires" or "Fits 26x2.25 tires". If you get them too small, the pads will hit the tire, and it NOT good for stopping. You most likely have that in mind it seems.

Thanks for the link, look perfect. Did you go with the darker ones for 2.25" tires or the silver one for 3" tires? The silver look stronger, but i just want the right size.

I went with the husky brand, doesn't matter about the maximum width that is how wide the bow is in the arms.
