Koolstops with Shimano RSX Brakes..

Posted on
  • Hi guys, Just to let you know that they don't fit!


    Koolstop's site says: "These will fit most Shimano® type brake systems"
    But the sleeve nut does not pass through the slot in the caliper... :(

    I could mill/file/drill it out I suppose...
    Or could I safely just use an M5 locknut on the end of the post thing?

  • With appropriate washers, probably, as long as you get enough threads engaged in the nut.

    Do you have spare washers, etc. from old blocks?

  • they won't pass through because the bolt sleeve is a bit thicker than the size of the slot?

    easily remedied with a power drill and bit to take 1/4 - 1/2 mm off the slot faces, with the drill running just punch into the slot then run it up and down the slot like a mill, dead easy, dead quick!

  • Thanks guys....
