Pacman Braze-on

Sheldon Brown's Bicycle Glossary · letter P-Q
← Pace Line · Pannier →

A special braze-on with a slot to hold the end of the reaction arm of a hub brake to the chainstay without the need for a clamp or bolt. This makes removing and replacing the rear wheel of a bike with a hub brake considerably easier.

I believe this was first used on Santana tandems.
