ED209:
Alright there

has anybody got any pics / parts / thoughts on what I need to make this brake work... cause I don't have a clue right now  :buck2:

seems to want to work with the cable guide mounted on the frame?

Thanks in advance  :daumenhoch:

HEYWOOD BMX:
 Do you have a barrel adjuster for the frame and a cable straddle/hanger? Looks like the angle from the straddle cable to the barrel adjuster will be harsh..

wirewheel:
you need one of those grub screw nipple clamps that come with dia compe hombre's for the hook side and a regular nipple clamp for the side with the hole in, run a gyro only with that frame a mongoose at a guess? with a dual cable set up lower gyro section, don't use a cable hanger get a nipple clamp. if you are struggling to get any of theese parts get in touch i can help.

ED209:
thanks for the replies gents...

I don't have any bits... thats all that came on the bike ( a Specialized Vegas 2001 )

I'm trying to get it sorted and want to spend as little as possible....

So... will it ONLY run with a rotor? no way it will work without? Is there another brake I could get thats cheap!

Yes I need help with any bits you can help me with!

pickle:
Ed....if you want to get another brake (that will be better than the Tektro) get yourself a Diatech Hombre for about £12 and it'll come with all the bits you need  :daumenhoch:
