what does POTTS MOD mean

(1/3) > >>

d14vd_h:
building up a raleigh styler and want to make it as freestyle orientated as possible so
im planning on sticking on a set of diacompe fs 880 - 900 brakes
however ive seen a few described as potts mod
excuse my ignorance but what does this mean?

Frosty:
That'll be the hollow stem bolt for routing the brake cable

d14vd_h:
ah ok so is it designed to be used with a gyro??
and should the forks have a specific bit for routing the wire up the back of them like ive seen on some freestyle bikes

billstup:
Potts mod is the hollow stem bolt that the brake cable goes through, so a front potts mod brake will be upsidedown so to speak where the brake linkedge is  :daumenhoch:

theRuler:
you dont necessarily need the cable guide on the fork. you can use a cable tie there
and you dont have to run a gyro either.
