Rear Brake On Carbon Frame
I have a carbon frame and the rear brake bridge is 30 mm thick excluding the countersink. The Campy Dual Pivot mount is only about 20 mm long.
I remember dealing with this before but I can't remember what I did. Is there a mount bolt replacement that is longer or a countersink nut that is longer? And where do you get whichever it is? I looked at a new set of Skeleton brakes and they also had the short mount as used in steel frames etc. |
There are several sizes of mount bolts. Find the correct one. It needs to be longer. Roger

You need a longer nut (the bolt is part of the brake and not changeable cheaply). Often there's a gap between the short ones made for the rear and shortest one for forks, so you might need the services of a hacksaw. |
Wheels Manufacturing offers recessed brake nuts in lengths from 19 to 35 mm so one of those should work: Wheels Manufacturing Brake Nut
If you are between sizes, a hacksaw will make it work. |
Thanks Guys. I ordered the extended nut from Wheels Manufacturing along with some 4 mm shift cable ends which I haven't found anywhere else.
