Zordon Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) I have found an idea. It could be a next step in the evolution of trials frames. It is some kind of convertible 4bolt mounts. Upper mounts are unchanged. Lower mounts are oversized, threaded for M8 steel inserts, which themselves have M5 internal threads. Such a frame would be Magura ready. I think brake clamps would have to be modified slightly to accomodate for the wider lower mounts.To use v-brakes, the inserts would simply have to be removed and canti studs installed. Then only a small little plate with three holes for the brake spring should be placed between the mount and stud. Voila, v-brake ready frame. Nice and clean. No adaptors required. Stiffer brake. Lightweight. Better clearance for tyre and cable/booster. Bigger brake power. Edited March 23, 2008 by zordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam-Griffin Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Think it's been thought of before, Mounts where to high or too low or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-Stop Junkie Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Doesn't work, but you can already buy 4-bolt to V-brake adapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
