Lijkt me de beste verzamelnaam voor caliper brakes, of misschien gewoon handrem.
Caliper: 5. Automotive. the part of a disc-brake assembly that straddles the disc and presses the brake pads against it.
6. a similar part used with a hand brake on a bicycle.
Zie links hieronder (dictionary and wikipedia).

Cantlevers vs Calipers
Bicycle Rim brakes divide into two basic types: cantilever and caliper.
Caliper brakes are self-contained mechanisms, attached to the bicycle's frame by a single bolt for each brake, front & rear. The arms reach downward from above the tire, and need to be long enough to get around the tire.
Cantilever brakes attach to the sides of a bicycle's frame/fork, separately on each side. They can only be used on bikes that are designed to use them, because they require special brazed-on fittings on the frame. These fittings are commonly called "studs" or "bosses." The brake for each wheel consists of two separate arms, each of which is individually attached to the frame or fork.
Cantilever brakes further divide into four sub-types, and I have reorganized this page into 4 separate pages, each dealing with one of the four sub-types.
