What brakes do I need for this GT. I know they are some sort of centre pull type thing, but as I am clueless, can anyone tell me what thet are called. Better still, anyone got any?  :LolLolLolLol:
It has a potts mod if that makes any difference.


Also, are these wheels any good;

hi adam not sure3 on the brakes maybe they are v brakes but only way of knowing is trying some im afraid .wheels wise the sumos are okay though bit dear to me for those as you know they come on here quite lot and are bit cheaper usually .otherwis ego for [air alex rims on ebay they are only 22.00 i think and are okay if your not gonna hammer it .

aditup2004:
Cheers Greg. I don't think they are V brakes, as they work on a different pivot point than these. These ones "see saw" type of pivot, if you know what I mean. I think mid school rippers use these type of brake. They have a centre pull type cable I think.
Have you got a link to the Alex rims, cannot find em. Cheer Greg, Ad  :daumenhoch:

aditup2004:
Are they "U" brakes???????

Sanmarcopizza:
Looks like they are positioned for U brakes, so you gets your choice. I guess 990's were probabaly right for early days.
