Hey guys, I'm new to this site and this thread caught my eye.
I'm part way building a bike for the first time. Learning loads, but I've got stuck:
I've an old Raleigh 501 frame and bought some old 105 brakes to put on it, but the mounting bolt nut is too wide for the hole in the frame. Went to lbs. He suggested finding some longer bolts - use front for back brake, but would need 75mm bolt for the front. He also suggested joining this so...
Is it possible to get a extra long bolt? If so any ideas where?
Or does anyone have any other ideas of how to solve this problem?
Thanks!!
