somberlaine Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hi all,It's been a while since I last posted here but I figured someone may have some sage advice for me. Basically, I have a Pashley 26 MHz (old skewl, I know) and the right hand side magura mount on the rear of my frame has snapped off.So what are my options? Is there any place from which I can order in a new brake mount and get it welded on or does this mean getting a new frame? (I can do the welding myself so that part shouldn't be a problem). I'm poor and love my Pash so don't really want to go down this route if I can avoid it.Cheers for your help,Michael. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Click Braze a set of those mounts on I think i might have a set in my shed if you want them for a few ££ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) I think you can buy braze-on mounts, probably from CRC or Tartybikes but I haven't checked that so no promises!If you cant find them then I'm sure someone on here will either bave an old dead frame that you could pinch one off, or speak to Clive Leeson (or similar) as I'm sure he could help you out.Hope you get it sorted mate,Lukehttp://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=1269 - That any good?

Robbbbb Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 If i remember rightly, my mate got 4 bolt mounts welded on to his 26mhz a while back but ended up scrapping them and putting normal ones back on, the top chain stays are stupidly wide on the pash and the brake is always set really far out even when fully adjusted. Unless theres a solution to this? but not one that im aware of just thought id bring past experience up.... might not be 100% accurate and maybe easily solved? Good luck anyhow whatever you decide to do with it matey.Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onza Kieron Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 If that's the case you could either run a pad bodge, or buy a wide rim. Unless you wanna run Vee-brake, then call up Pashley, maybe Curtis or Clive Leeson may help you out. Don't hold me to it but worth a shot.

br3n Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I think I have a set of those braze on jobbies which were ordered by accident, if you want them let me know and you can have them for free + postage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somberlaine Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Hi again, thanks very much for all of your help and particularly to 'trialsmad' for offering those free braze-ons.I heard similar stories about braze-ons meaning your pads are too far apart. My rim is a rhyno mammoth XL - is this wide enough to counteract this problem? I may get back to you on those braze-ons, 'trialsmad',but for now I shall look for the 'traditional' lug.Thanks again and I'll keep you posted!Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endofreak Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Same thing happened to mine way back in the good old days. I ended up getting a Hope universal disc mount and ran a Hope C2 on the rear. Obviously not the cheapest option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somberlaine Posted March 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Yeah, getting a rear disc would definately be a last resort, lol; the fact that my preferred currency at the moment is Tesco computer-for-schools-vouchers shows you just how poor I am So just to double check, is it possible then to have new v-brake mounts re-welded bake onto the rear of my frame?

Robbbbb Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 It's easy enough getting standard v brake mounts back on yeh, but if you wanted the dual bolt mounts it would definately require a bit more thinking about, rim width, pads etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
