  • Sounds good. Do you know if there’s any reason I can’t pop it on a crosscheck? Do the chainstays need to be up to the job like with disc brakes?

  • AFAIK there are no special requirements of the frame, you just add the p-clip thing to the NDS chainstay. It came off a completely unspecial alloy frame, so I think any steel frame would be fine. The chain stay has to take a rotational force, but I can't imagine it's bigger than your weight on it, and the actual braking force is through the dropout.

  • the actual braking force is through the dropout.

    The P-clip pulls down on the chainstay. Given how little torque it takes to lock the rear wheel, it's not a big load; if your chainstay can't take it, you have bigger problems than brake torque reaction 🙂
