Direct mount brakes - a new development

A new knowledge was acquired in connnection with an OEM bike project I have (Bianchi x4).  It is to be fitted with a direct mount brake.  Research research.    Canvass

I saw one in Olx for Ultegra 6810.   For P4,500 others are selling for P6,000.  So punta na lang ako sa meet up.

This is the latest for T de F, and other newer bikes. There are two bolts that attach to the front fork, rear seat stay (for Bianchi) or underneath the chain stay for some model.   It is supposed to be more aerodynamic, since it is attached closer to the body of the bike, less dirty air, and lighter.  Braking would seem to more sure because of stronger fitment (two bolts vs one in current model)  Some mechanics still are not familiar.  So let us the user be familiar first.
