Help: Haro RS2 rear brake with 1 1/8 rims!

(1/3) > >>

mattuknc:
Hi All,
Having a few issues trying to get the rear brake/ rim lined up. On these photos there's no freewheel, but I don't think that would have any effect!
Basically because these rims are so narrow there doesn't seem to be enough adjustment on the brake pads?!

Any ideas?!



 :)
Cheers
Matt

are you going to riding /racing it?  put smaller caliper on it somthing like a road bike calliper with shorter arms .. you'll be able to sit the axle centre in the dropout then , shorter/ smaller caliper will work better too , mx 1000 type realy on work well down to 1.5 rim, other option is newer blocks with the toe in spacers on but i looks like you might stuggle getting em to alighn up on the rim with that caliper 

RoyalTrux:
You need a mini brake set up.
I have mini shimano calipers if you want.
pm me.

john4130:
if that's an mx 1000 you got on it you could try an mx900. it's a little bit shorter and may reach better. not sure what these came fitted with, maybe a bulldog brake?

try a 901  :daumenhoch:
