Changing cantilevers?
I'd like to swap the cantilever levers (the brake levers, not the hand levers) on two of my bikes. Is this a big deal, or is it just unbolting them, swapping them, and adjusting the brakes?
|
Anybody?
For clarification, I'm talking about these: http://recklesscognition.files.wordp...r550brake2.jpg The cantilevers on my bike look like the one in that picture: fairly vertical. I have a set on another bike that are much more splayed out, like this: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/c...ers-xt2-06.jpg I'd like to swap these around. Is this just a simple swap, or are there any pitfalls I may run into? Obviously I'll have to adjust the cables and pads, but is there anything else? |
Only issue may be cable length on one of the bikes but that's it.

CACycling: that's what I figured. I have a spare set of cables laying around if I need them.
I'm just trying to get my ducks in a row before I get started. |
