Title: pitbull II brakes
Post by: Glen on December 03, 2008, 05:21 PM
Would I need a seat clamp with a cable barrel type adjuster on it like this:

to run an odyssey pitbull II brake like this on the rear, its not like the first pitbulls that have the cable guide as part of the set up:

They came with a hanger, like a Pitbull I. It's missing from the one in your picture.

A Hutch seat clamp and a Pitbull II are years apart, what are you building?

I know but its a caliper brake non the less.  its an 82 USA pre serial hutch pro racer.  The bars (chrome new S+M slams.  Never liked hutch bars) rims (smoked chrome demolition zero, cos they look the bollox) seat (S+M slim) grips (S+M) and lever (DXR) are the only parts that arent area correct, but its not a show bike, I intend to race it.  Also those parts I like alot more than the era correct parts anyway ;)

...Pitbull II it is then :)
