These look incredibly dangerous to me. They appear poorly engineered to me with the torsional moments created by braking acting laterally against the clamping forces of a single screw, plus the odds of one of the brackets coming loose are multiplied by four times. Anyone who has had even a computer sensor go into a wheel will know how dangerous it can potentially be. I would hope that these are bought as museum pieces only!!!
