Rim brakes can be either a cantilever brake or a caliper brake. Caliper brakes are kinda horseshoe shaped and fit over the wheel to reach the rim.

All rim brakes have rubbery brake pads on the point where the arms gets closest to the rim. Hub brakes can be either drum, disc, roller, or band brakes.
