zetecmk2 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Gis a pic dude... I'm sooo confused sorry...didn't take any, basically, due to the width of the stays...to allow for wider trials rims, the normal 2 v brake mount i have for maguras from my mtb doesnt fit! so i need offset mounts attatched to the frame with 4 long bolts that go right through the stays!! i was sure that i could get it to work somehow......but no!! and i'm going to sweeden for the day on saturday, so can't do anything until sunday.....in fact, can't do anything until i get those mounts off you!!! looks like i'll be out on the san andreas this weekend then!!i'm thinking a wider rim would make life sooooo much easier (and a frame without the threads drilled out!!!)

*gentlydoesit Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Got you! Took a while .... if you drill out the clamps to take an m8 bolt it will remove the recessed part of the clamp where an m5 bolt would sit entirly! Are you sure you want to do that?

zetecmk2 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 no...i have 4 m5x100mm bolts and a section of alloy tube that is 8mm o/d and 5mm i/d that i can cut into 4 to sleeve the holes that someone drilled in the frame. the holes have an i/d of about 7mm (with a thread cut in the lower 2) so i will grind about 1mm off the sleeves....they are only to centralise the bolts in the holes.......it.ll be fine...trust me (although i wouldn't let hans rey ride it!!

Mark W Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I don't think in the history of the bicycle there's even been as much palaver fitting some brakes Hope you get something sorted though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zetecmk2 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 here you can see why the standard magura mount didn't fit. the bosses are 100mm apart standard mtb is 75 mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
