hi folks, need a wee bit of advise please..... building my ripper, and i'm trying to use a mx1000 on the rear with a self centering thing..
problem is, the mechanism for the self centering thing touches on the brake bridge and the rear down tubes, obviously the bridge is flat as opposed to the normal round one's, also what do you use instead of the half moon clamps on the flat  bridge
maybe i'm doing something wrong, or have i gotta convert the mx1000 to a normal spindle..

any help always appreciated.  cheers wayne.  :daumenhoch:

Hiya
Do you have a spacer to keep the self centre thing away from the frame?

cool fins of a skyway brake block,
look good as well.
i went this way with the mx1000, but ended up fitting a pitbull caliper.
better for riding.

no spacer mate, i take it that must be missing then, hence the reason theres a couple of washer on there! still not enough clearance though even with 3 washers on.  :yahoo_silent:
