I have a question about using direct mount brakes on a bike like a Trek Emonda or Canyon aeroad (bikes where the rear direct mount brake is on the seatstays)
Is the rear brake an actual "rear brake" or do you use a front brake and switch the pads around?
Seems like the under chainstay rear Shimano brake would not work well on the seatstays?

The Aeroad uses a two fronts, ie the rear brake is a front.
