Dia Compe hat auf jeden Fall die Bremsen für SunTour produziert.
"JASCA (Japan Sports Cycle Association) was formed in 1963 and expanded in 1964. JASCA promoted Japanese bicycle components with joint advertising and marketing. It consisted of Araya (rims), Daido (chains), Dia Compe (brakes), Maeda-SunTour (derailleurs and freewheels), HKK (chains), Kusuki (handlebars and stems), KKT (pedals), Nankai (coaster brakes), Shimano (hubs, freewheels, and derailleurs), Sugino (cranksets), Taihei (saddles), and Takagi (cranksets)."
"JASCA had problems promoting competing companies. In 1969, JASCA split into two trade associations: JBM (Japan Bicycle Manufacturers) and JEX (Japan Bicycle Parts Manufacturers Group for Export Promotion)."
"The JEX group consisted of Dia Compe, HKK, Maeda-SunTour, Nankai, Sugino, and Taihei. The JEX members agreed not to compete with each other's products. This turned out to be a liability in the 1980s when the market turned to gruppos. When SunTour sold gruppos, they bought the other components from their JEX partners."
"SunTour used their partners in the JEX combine to produce the Superbe gruppo of derailleurs, shift levers, cranksets, brakes, hubset, pedals, headsets and seat posts."
