rear brake problem with my curtis freestyler

(1/2) > >>

curtis1984:
morning chaps,

Im restoring my freestyler and am having major issues fitting my rear brake (sounds simple!)

Im trying to fit MX901's.

first issue: trying to fit them normal way round, the rear standing loop interferes with the adjuster so I thought i'll reverse the brake around and put in on the underside where the chain I now rubbing against the arm of the brake.

There is a serious lack of room to adjust anything here!

I am thinking I may need to get a rear MX890?

any advice would be appreciated

scoff:
Any chance of a pic?
I've just had a similiar problem on my son's Blank, there was a lot of head scratching, but I got there in the end.

dannyrobo:
hi,901s do fit but they are tight, here`s a pic its not the best angle but i hope it helps  :daumenhoch:

Funkyworm:
I think you need mx 1000's mate or 880's as the adjusters  don't stick up so high.

pickle:
yeah an 880 would fit nicely, or a Nippon  ???
