No rear brake, how to fit Crud Road Racer?

Posted on
  • I could do it by putting a zip tie through the hole in the brake bridge and then zip tying the road racer in turn to that. Which seems practical but a little inelegant.

    Any other decent solutions, form and function being of equal priority to me.

    It's on a charge plug if that makes any odds. fitted with an SA S2C so it's neither fixed nor singlespeed but it will be ridden fixed a fair bit of the time. The S2C is for weekends.

  • I'd recommend zip tie as cheapest and easiest option. Black zip ties ftw.

  • ^This. Works for me.

  • Yes double zip tie, done it on the BJ wrapping over the brake bridge which is undrilled. Use a bit of tape to stop the zips rubbing on your paint.

    Anyone got the RR2? Does rear fasten to the seat tube at all with the longer cover for front derailleur?

  • Or use a rear brake mounting bolt where it would normally sit, then attach the Mudguard with a cut down Canti Stud bolt, with a large flanged head?

  • Yeah, just use a short M6 bolt through the brake hole. Not rocket surgery.

  • Track bike mudguard fail there, Matt...

  • fit a brake

  • Buy a touring bike.

  • @skully - whut? that's a crud road race guard. before they smashed to bits. isn't that what we're talking about?

  • Buy a touring bike.

    already got one ta.

  • fit a brake

    why would anyone want a bike with two rear brakes?

  • I like what you've done. My o-ring could go through the bolt hole, zip tie under the brace to take out the slack and your uncle is called Robert.

  • It says that the crud road racer mk2 is for tight clearances, anyone know just how tight i could get away with? i'm currently running 6mm (not enough for a finger width) rear clearances max with perhaps 8mm (just about a finger width) front.

  • read fail

  • epic fail....

    I just clicked on the More info click here image.
