The one on the left is the rear, cos the outer cable comes in from the top, and the pinch bolt is underneath. The brake on the right is the front and its ready for a pots mod cable cos the inner comes from below (the adjuster us underneath) and the pinch bolt is at the top.

Havin a look at some other freestyle builds should help.

cheers, I'd figured out the brakes just about, but now wondering where the back one goes, down between the chain stays
or up by the seat tube, or is it personal preference?
It's going to have Burner bars and a GT chain ring, but I reckon I can get this built tonight.

time to browse the museum me thinks.

Wot happens with the quick release on mx1000's, does it just move upsidedown too?

The QR stays in the same place, just the adjuster and pinch bolt swap round. I think the adjuster and pinch bolt on MX1000s are both swappable but the QR is fixed (rivited) to the arm. Its about 20 years since I set up an MX1000 so Im not to sure.

Front Nippons were "pots mod" specific and had a very nice pinch bolt / adjuster at the top.
