Damon W Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 basically, as many know my frame is in bits, and i might be able to lend a frame off my mate, but its a 26" frame and iv got 24" wheelsdoes any company make adaptors to convert 26" 4 bolt magura mounts into 24" 4 bolt magura mounts? essentially would just be a plate with mounts further down?any expected problems with this idea?

Adam-Griffin Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Geo would be a it weird no ? I know Heatsink Steve has some "26-"24 adaptors i enquried about, think he wanted liek £15 ? Only problem is there Vee but you could use evo mounts/a vee for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 should have kept that other marino really... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-A Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 4 bolt booster, bolted to 4 bolt mounts and jubilee clipped at end. Brakes mounted using 4 bolt mounts, upside down. 2 or 4 bolt booster to ad a bit of stiffness. If you snap jubilee clips you can tie the brake on with v brake cable. Job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-A Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Yeh was a Leeson booster. Ran fine, save for snapping one of the jubilee clips mid ride and having to tie it on with a bit of spare brake cable. It was a pure bodge, if the option is there to buy one of Heatsinks v mount kits and use evos that would probably result in a better brake I'd have thought.
