Centaur's brakes are equipped with Record's brake pads and the pad holders. The holders, which have orbital adjustability, accept a brake shoe that is longer and slightly curved as compared with conventional designs. Because of that it applies more brake surface area to the rim which, of course, makes for more powerful braking.
