What Rear Brake?

<< < (2/2)

steve:
TIP-
all the new school mini's have a front caliper similar to the one on minihaha's ripper
-they dont use cantis, as i imagine they are too difficult to fit
-so, ask for the calipers on bmx talk

-or true to the old school stylee
-bitd, the popular choice was campy calipers, although they were then and still are, well dear

the weinmann calipers came in all different sizes, and you will not have the brake block square to a skinny rim, if you use one too large

-search for campagnolo calipers on ebay, and get a period correct one, but be warned one you start looking for campy stuff, you will end up with hubs cranks etc :D

further more, small sized crank sets are availaable -or were available at 150mm up -ta campy etc, as they are used in tandems, plus don't be caught out buying campy hubs with 40 holes in rear and 28/32.36 in front, as these are designed for tandems, ie the muti spoked rear wheel is better equipped for a 2 passenger bicycle

daz bmx it!:
thanks peeps :) Mmmm them Campy ones do look rather nice :daumenhoch:
