Going from disc to v-brakes on the rear
first of all, the reason I'm doing this is: I have a really nice rack and it won't fit, the disc brakes on in the way. I could get an old man mountain rack, but they are very expensive. It was a lot cheaper to convert the rear to v-brakes.
Problem is, I go to mount the v-brakes, pull the rubber plugs out of the holes then I realize my problem. There are no studs to mount the v-brake. just a threaded hole.
I looked online at the usual place I order parts and can't find a "stud" that would thread into the hole.
Anyone know where I can get these?

I meant he could steal them off a bike he allready ownes. If he allready has a bike with Vs on, he could swap the posts off that, and put the disc on. Just an idea.
