Yeah, I'll play around with them tomorrow, see if I can figure it out. There has to be a stock brake though, a puzzler for me.
"Also, there are canti's like the Dia Compe 986/987 and an old pair of tektros I had that don't use the holes at all, they have a plate that gets pressed in place by the tension of the pivot bolt."
I have some 986/7s someplace, I'll take a look at them, maybe they will work. I just want to finish the build and get the kid off his 50lb clunker. I'm hoping someone will know whats what with these mounts.
thanks.
