I wanna fit a rear brake to one of my fixed setups for winter.
Bike isnt drilled, so investigating the clamp on option.
guess I need the 'circular' clamp - anyone got one they want to sell?
cheers

The rear uses a simple clamp method of 2 plates either side of the stays.
Front is clamped to each fork and comes in circular or oval.
Billys bmx and Sjs cycles have them.

Found that Tokyo Fixed Gear are the cheapest, (still bloody expensive though). They can either send it or pick up from Queensway to save a bit on postage. Pick up also means you can go and stare at some of the incredible frames he has and play with a cute dog.

has anyone used this it appears to just loop around the rear stay to mount a conventional brake caliper. robust enough?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
