Max Quinn Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Hey i have a 26" designed frame but am looking at getting 24" wheels. Seeing as i still want to run V's/hs33's is there anything i coud use or buy to adapt the 26" brake mounts to 24" brake mounts? I can't seem to find anything but surely there must be something? :turned: Thanks for any help, Max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazzyhaslam Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 could try upside down evo mounts for 24" maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Quinn Posted July 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 could try upside down evo mounts for 24" maybe? ← Yer i was thinking of trying that but it seems a bit hit or miss, i'll probably try and borrow a freinds 24" wheel to test it sometime. Isn's there any mount conversion things or other methods though? Cheers, Max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 you can buy bolt on plates with v brake mounts already on them for bmxs, i have a plate that bolts straight onto 4 bolt mounts and allows you to use a v brake on 26 or 24 inch wheels (Y) or convert a mod to v brake mounts sucessfully :turned: anyway, thought about makin aplate that bolts onto your old mounts and has new bosses lower down? if you get me.....should be pretty easy-ive been thinking of making my own to test out on my bike, cos i quite like the idea of tryin 24s on a spare frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 (edited) That would be good kind of like the monty urban custom 26" brake mounts but lower down, you could make your own 6/8 bolt booster to stiffen it up a bit aswell. Would look weell unique :turned: Edited July 4, 2005 by Caleb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 One of my mates did this with some pashley forks.. he cut off the brake luggs and got his dad to weld them back on the the right place. I'm not quite sure exactly what he done..but it was something along those lines.. Ask Rich4130 about it (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Quinn Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Ok thanks for all your help so far people. Would this sort my problem i've been told it would but i'm not really sure what it does or how it attaches etc. Any clues? Thanks again, Max.

totaltrials Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 If you have a steel frame you can braze some 4-bolt mounts to your frame wherever you want, in the correct place preferably (Y) , if you need any just PM me and I'll send you some.
