I might need to put a rear brake on my track frame. It's undrilled and I don't want to drill it.
I've had a search, but can't find any threads. Anyone got any tips or suggestions. I've got a set of v-brakes knocking around, so part of me is tempted to try something using those.
But I'd guess some sort of plate set-up with a long drop road caliper would be easiest(?).
Any hints or tips?
Cheers.
ps if anyone has a left hand cross top leaver, thats not for oversized I'd be interested.
EDIT:
Found this:
for £33.
I'm guessing that unless I can get a free brake it'll be tough to build anything cheaper myself. Still open to DIY suggestions.
Also if I'm tight on clearance and I go up a tooth on the rear will it take me over the edge? Or is the difference fractional?
Cheers.
