A while ago a member on here recommended the London mod for a rear brake.

I would like to know if I can only use calipers like the one pictured, that has 2 cable lock nuts, or if any caliper will work (like a Dia Compe AD990) that’s modified buy adding a second cable nut.

Cheers

I'm pretty sure you can convert the brake with a lock nut. Is it for your Sport?
I think this is what you need.

Thanks guys, yes Marc its for the Sport (06 re-issue).

Would either product work on AD990s? Or are the Odyssey Knarps only work on Odyssey calipers.

Cheers
