Magura hydraulic rim brake. Hydraulic rim brakes are one of the least common types of brakes. They are mounted either on the same pivot points used for cantilever and linear-pull brakes or they can be mounted on four-bolt brake mounts found on many trials frames. They were available on some high-end mountain bikes in the early 1990s, but ...
Bicycle drivetrain systems are used to transmit power on bicycles, tricycles, quadracycles, unicycles, or other human-powered vehicles from the riders to the drive wheels. Most also include some type of a mechanism to convert speed and torque via gear ratios .

A schematic illustrating the major components of a hydraulic disc brake system. A hydraulic brake is an arrangement of braking mechanism which uses brake fluid, typically containing glycol ethers or diethylene glycol, to transfer pressure from the controlling mechanism to the braking mechanism.
Disadvantages include: Implementations to date are heavier than those of bicycle chain and sprocket designs.; Though some of the components in a sealed hydraulic system maintain constant efficiency upwards of 95% in all conditions (see hydristor), the overall losses usually result in an efficiency of about 75% (power loss of about 25%, see hydraulic machinery).
