??? Short reach u brake ???

(1/3) > >>

Jaymz:
Is there such a thing?

Onmy stout boy I'm having to run the rear wheel way back in the drop outs, otherwise I can't get the block to reach the rim, I'm runnin an era correct dc ad990, and would want to keep the solution era correct obviously

Any ideas fellas?

GavinDavis:
How far back exactly are you having to fix the wheel Jay?  Is it pretty safe where it is?  Have you got a piccy?  :daumenhoch:

Betty:
Sounds like the brake mounts are welded on too far back on the stays

i think so too fella

Here is a pic and on this one they aren't quite right, needs a touch more to tighten the chain [which has 4 half links in it for fine adjustment]

and the chain has to be tight so it doesn't foul the top of the u brake

GavinDavis:
Hmmm......Does look pretty far back Jay??  Well...thinking about it, the 2-Hip Pork ran a different brake so im wondering if its designed around the same brake?
