Converting brake caliper to clamp on

  • Is this possible? Probably with some welding no?

    Anyone know of anywhere that does this?

    Cheers

  • i tink diacompe make a kit for this, just the clamps, to attach a brake to.

  • e.g. http://www.tokyofixedgear.com/productdetails.asp?productid=00189

    i think you can get the clamp bit separate, maybe pop in to tokyo fixed shop

    Cheers I will try to pop in.

    The original brake will still need cutting down etc though?

  • PM tobysowen, he has been trying to sort one of these out for weeks through TFG, probably knows a fair bit about what you want/need.

  • I don't think it's possible to buy the Dia Compe brake as a mounting plate only. You'd likely be able to use a rear brake bolt or rear brake with some washers to mount it. Your best bet is to buy the Dia Compe brake and sell the components you don't need and replace the brake with you own. You could even scavenge parts from the Dia Compe brake.

  • That's what gizmond has done I think.

    Yeah maybe best. I have some nice Campag brakes I'll get rid of.
