Title: FIT Bikes
Post by: Peter J on January 09, 2012, 01:57 PM

I've been offered a FIT Bikes Tom White complete for a good price only one problem.......no rear brake mounts  :crazy2:

I'm too old, fat and crap at riding to run it brakeless so......are there any bolt on kits to fit a rear brake ?

I know I can put a caliper brake on but I don't think an MX1000 would stop me  :daumenhoch:

The only solution I've come up with so far would be to get a brake mount kit like this one

and have it mounted permanently by a local frame builder  :-\

Probably better to use a bolt on U-brake plate (like people use on the front sometimes).
It wont look as nice but it'll be WAY less work
