Title: AD990 Help
Post by: adeshere on November 29, 2006, 08:33 PM

Hi,

I just bought a Dia-Compe AD990 brake for my group1.

I know how to mount it, but how do i connect up the cable ?

it came with these two bits also (The long bit has a plastic inner sheath)

I need the screw in bit to go into the frame

Looks to me like a normal size one that you get on a normal caliper.

PLEASE DOES ANY ONE HAVE AN OLD CALIPER THEY COULD TAKE THE ADJUSTER OFF AND SEND TO ME .... PRETTY PLEASE

Forget the noodle and use a straddle cable as shown ^^^^ looks like you were sold the wrong bits.

Ive got a bridge if you PM your address i'll send it off, as for the straddle cable you just need a short length of regular brake cable with the barrel on the end.
