not something i have tried before, but before i go and buy a new gyro, will it work ok on v brakes?
-
think motomag tried and it didnt work
on his bulldog
could be wrong tho lol
-
dahh crap
i am not sure it would work either
v brakes seem to need more pull than a normal brake
-
When you say 'v' brakes - you mean 'v' brakes dont you? like mid school race brakes, cantis?
Call me stupid, but a Bulldog aint no 'v' brake...... :-\
-
I had one on my last bike but had to use a "v roller" adaptor on the brake to get enough pull.

yep v brakes, on canti mounts
i think motomags "bulldog" was a bike (not that feeble sidepull)

It's just a j shaped bit of pipe the inner cable goes through with a roller to allow the lever to pull more cable-they are to allow non v brake levers to be used I think.
I'll see if I can find a pic of mine but may have to go in the garage and take one later if I can find it.

yeah i tried it graham and couldnt get it to work the gap on the headset for the giro just wasnt enough for the extra pull you need on the v brake .messed with it for ages to try get it to work and in the end failed and took the giro back off .
