Rear Brake setup advice

(1/4) > >>

Swivel:
Afternoon chaps, my early 83' Torker 280x has a flat brake bridge so need suggestions please of how to setup the brake? The axle is too long and the curved washers can't be used, so what can I use but still make it look decent? I've not come across this before on any of my frames....

Thanks, Matt ;)

Find someone on here Matt with the correct thread die and cut the thread down as far on the spindle as you can  :daumenhoch:

A lot of people use the Skyway Pro pad fins too. Not my cup of tea but worth a shot if you have some  :)

That Swan Guy:
You can get shortened spindles that don't use the rounded washers.

Ah ha, that's what i've seen before but those skyway pro pad fins will be a bugger to get hold of in Gold I should think. Thanks to you and Nick for your advice  :daumenhoch:
