Thanks Joe, I really agonized over parting with them but I have a set on my road bike and these have sat unused for about 20 years.

[RBW] Re: For sale, Suntour Superbe brakes
First of all, the OP says these are nutted Superbe 47-57mm brakes with Mathousers. Not superbe pros. Second, the hidden spring Superbe Pros are very nice brakes, notwithstanding that one or more people may not have found them to be perfect. Third, dual pivots may be superior in some aspects, but these Superbe brakes do not lack for anything.

If these are the superbe pro sidepull calipers they are junk. I had a pair and they could never stay centered.
