Ah Mafac? One senior VCC member remarked when I took on this role? That steady arrestor of laden bikes and the first brakes that really worked.

They developed the first of the modern generation of centre pulls and their design of cantilever provided the foundation for braking on Mountain Bikes.

Mafac brakes are amongst that select band of components that were used by a wide range of cyclists from Tour de France riders, time trialists to tourists and riders of tandems/trikes. Thus almost any lightweight from the early 50's to the mid 80's could be appropriately retro-fitted with Mafacs.

Origins

Established after WWII they were originally known as Securite (the 'r' elongated to underline the word as the 'a' later in Mafac). Under their original name they marketed three out of four of their core products: the cantilever, the brake lever (at this stage without a rubber hood and the blade of solid construction) and the tool kit (in either a metal tin or leather pouch). The name changed in the autumn of 1947 (ref advertisement in Le Cyclist 11/47). The levers were originally open at the back by the end of the 50's they had become half open (far more comfortable on the hands when riding on the hoods). The brakes were invented by one M Bourdel, the proprietor.

The rubber hoods originated in the late 1940's first as a half-hood and later as a full-hood. Typically these were black or tan but also came in other colours including white, blue and green. Later the lever with half-hood was known as the 'course' and the full hood the gummed lever.

They also made a Guidonnet lever (fitted below the flat parts of drop bars), which was popular with tourists, offering access to the brakes from the top of the bars. These were best used with randonneur bars, which swept up from the centre; with ordinary Maes type bars there was very little distance between lever and bar. The first use of these in Britain I am aware of was in the late 50's when the owner of Major Brothers (a small builder in Thornton Heath, South East London) brought them back from France when he found he could not use a conventional lever with his arthritis.
