bolt on brake lugs

(1/4) > >>

theRuler:
i'm sure i saw some on a mountain bike

can you get bolt on lugs? anyone tried them on a bmx?

i know you can get ad lug brake plates, but they are super heavy and they flex too much

Rombloke:
graeme i reckon the amount of torque needed to keep these in place would crush a seat/chain stay....they would be under extreme sidewards forces.

but im no mechanic/scientist/frame builder, so dont listen to me!!!

theRuler:
i am thinking bolt on lugs along with a plate between the bolts (on top) would be a winner

TwoBobRob:
I ran an AD plate for ages with no real problemos....  whereabouts on the bike does it need to go? I solved my flex problems with a couple of jubilee clips  ;)

And on that note - that very same brake plate is currently for sale.  :)

Should you fancy it  :D

theRuler:
i got a few of them
i am getting flex on one, but i am only using fat cable ties. i will try jub clips!
