Here it is dudes... I haven't got the brake sorted yet as I don't think this Odyssey A-brake works on type of Challenger? Any advice on that would be appreciated.
It's got all the hot stuff... T1000's, Challenger forks, redneck, slams, GT cranks...... I've also a nicer set of S&M pedals that I want to swap for these, just need to change the spindles over.
Soon to be shredded at Iford!

Very nice! The A brake should work! I'm not sure though, but it's a lovely bike!

I wouldnt be sure, those Challengers were pre vbrake. More like the traditional none vbrake canti's I reckon

Yeah that would make sense... I got the Abrake initially for my 98 challenger, not this one... so I'll look for regular canti. Cheers dude.

Stevie, a Shimano V-brake should still work on canti bosses. The red Shimano DX V-brake and lever would look good on your Challenger and go with the red Redneck :daumenhoch:
-
Cheers Mike, I'll do that.... keeping my eyes peeled!
-
bring it to pagham in sept stevie as i bring mine as dirt bike but yellow and with same parts as yours we can have a ramp off .
still need your number as well :)
-
nice!!! Those are my old wheels!!!
-
Very nice Stevie :smitten:
V-brakes are just cantilever brakes with longer arms, the A brake should be fine the problem lies with your lever, its a none V brake specific one so has a shorter cable throw
I have a silver and black Shimano DX R/H/S lever I can send you if you PM me your addy, that should sort it b :daumenhoch:
:) DINGO :)

I love 1" threaded Challengers. :D
-
An A brake would like real nice on that.They work well set up as a centre pull by using a straddle hanger off a u brake.
-
Looking good, very nice.
I always think its a waste when a bike has a cable stop for a canti brake but someone uses V brakes on it. Get an old shimano Canti on there! (I might even have one you can have).
Oh, and I think they are pitchforks, not challenger forks ???? Always nice, and they look like quite early ones, but still pitchforks.
-
always loved canti's , you get loads of modulation like a U brake, much better than a V for a BMX id say.
Didnt you run some DIY setup alex? Also I think George french of Gsport, uses Canti's too.
A V brake will still work fine, but short armed ones like the A brake, may not have cable/tyre clearance with a fattie on the back.
