I think I may have got front instead of rear brakes. Can I put these on the back of my bike somehow? They are the oddyssey 1999.

What’s the rear of your frame look like?
It’s a solid “Maybe” with a bias towards “Nope”.
unless you have a hole thru the center of the seat stay bridge these won’t work. you need to post what bike they’re for and provide photos to get a definite answer.
Those are built for old school bikes, where they’re either mounted through a hole in the seat stay cross bar, or through a hole in the fork. If your frame doesn’t have either of those, they’re probably useless to you. You likely need U brakes, as they are the standard on modern BMX bikes since at least the early 2000’s
those are universal, providing you have a bike no newer than 1995….odds are you are after a u brake. for your sake i sugest the odyssey springfield, it will include a lever also and are extremely user friendly. do you have brake posts welded to your frame? you might need (removeable) posts also, there are a few styles if so…
