show me your brake setups on your old ass conversions
 

ive got a long reach dual pivot on the front but i need to know how to setup the rear with a long spacing anybody have a solution? ive got a freewheel now and i need to know how to jimmy this up...most of my local shops don't know shyt!

Get another long-reach brake? I don't really understand what the problem is.

Long reach centerpull worked well for me.

i bought a bmx brake for an old crap beater the other day and it was too long of reach. arg!
stick with the centerpulls the bike came with, probably

didn't come with brakes....http://a350.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...c797afa435.jpg

so yeah the guy at the shop told me to scrounge up some old beater bikes and try to find a brake....thing is, i want a nice brake.......

The old Weinmann and Dia Compe centerpulls will stop you very well when properly set up.

And if your bike isn't drilled for recessed brakes, then that's pretty much your only option (aside from taking a drill to it.

I've got a centerpull you can have, but I don't really understand the question.

this is really quite simple
1. measure required reach
2. buy brake with appropriate reach
3.
4. Profit.

Where is this from, I swear I've heard this on some show/movie (well, with some other topic obviously).

1. Collect Underpants
2.
3. Profit

get a set of the tektro extra long reach brake calipers I have a set and I really like them they work well

Fabricated some little brake extenders on one of my bikes.

thats exactly what im talking about....so who makes brakes that long?? anybody have a part number? or am i gonne have to fabricate like the above picture??

I don't know if a TV show or movie used it, but it was a common joke during the dot-com boom, when companies without any viable means of profitability were popping up daily.

So it would work like:

1. Buy digisecents.com
2. Try to transmit smells over the internet.
3. ???
4. Profit!

It's still one of the 8-10 recurring responses to every article on Slashdot.
