I don't want brakes on my fantasy Angel of Death.

They are similar. The base is curved to match the CS tube, and there is a long bolt that runs through it that also tightens the brake spring cap. I got higher grade bolts that were coated (phosphate?), then Teflon taped the threads and the shank of the bolt inside the mount. Those changes seemed to take out some of the flex and now they feel great.
dude...:
yeah thats what i have, theyre fine (even though one of the bolts has bent very slightly).
JFax:
Is there actually a structural benefit of that TT/CS junction design?
KillSeth:
You mean a wishbone versus A-frame style?
