Title: DC seat clamp as a coaster bracket?
Post by: dwain dibbly on March 06, 2015, 07:56 PM

anyone fitted a DC seat clamp to the rear chain stay as a coaster brake bracket? specifically to a TA?
I've gone to do it to mine and the clamp is HUGE!! i thought i have to wrap some tape around it but its not
even close. has anyone got pics of the clamp fitted? :)

You could use  a tractor inner tube?  :D I forgot you said it was a TA with aero rear stays  :-[   I remember my brother using a DC twin bolt and filing both sides down but dunno if the bike had aero tubing?    This trick also worked for mini frame seat tubes  ;)
