Title: pitbull and posy seat clamp setup
Post by: brettnai on January 31, 2008, 04:16 PM

Does anyone have a picture of  posy-stop seat clamp set up with a pitbull brake.

Because my Bully doesn't have a brake bridge as such its proving a bit tricky.

I've put the seat clamp on but the bit that hangs off it and guides the cable is too long, it over laps the bit that comes off from the pitbull (the bit with the adjuster on). If I'm using a posy do I need that bit? If I take it off I wont have an ajuster.

If that doesn't make sense I'll take a pic

on my bully i had the same issue

it did fit in the end, but it was really tight and fiddly

tbh it was such a pain in the arse to set up. and the brake's woeful performance didn't really warrant the fannyarsing around it too setting it up either.

post a pic. it may be that you need to run a side pull

either brake choice aint gonna be giving you massive skids
unless you count the ones in your grippers as you head towards a busy road with the back brake on full chat, but not slowing you down ;)

brilliant! thats what I needed to see!
so you didnt use the adjuster that came with the pitbull and just used the posy to guide the cable instead?

yeah its one or the other

i think the posi clamps look nicer me self
so i went that route

but with the standard thing you get a spring don't you?
which would def help the cam go back into place
