this is just an enquiry, as the frame is not ready, but . . .
i want the rear canti lugs removing, and welding back on as u brake lugs
its a late model ripper (i bought it in 2002, new)
the frame will be bare metal. anybody handy at the old brazing?
-
why? the canti brake is a million times better than a U brake?
-
not a million times better, but i get your point.
i can't get used to feel of the v brake. i cant seem to feather it, and it feels weak.
hence i'd rather have a uey. the vbrake is too sharp for me. its on or off.
-
your not wrong on the v brakes mate mine are so keen it stops dead or skids everytime i tough it on my se bronco cant get used to new school brake that works rather than old school nearly works ;D
-
nothing wrong with mine either, infact the rear v-brake works better than any other brake ive used, and im running aero zytecs!! with unbranded cheapo nasty pads.
-
have you thought about trying a lever with an adjustable ratio like the XTR levers used to have?
that way you should be able to tailor the feel of the brake to suit your preferences ;)
there were a couple of right hand Shimano XTR brake levers on ebay last week!

cheers i'll look one up!
