Tektro brakes

Submitted by edder on 08/15/2008.

Can you tell me how you attached the Tektro brakes? I have one of
these frames and it accepts hex-nut bolted brakes. The Tektro's
look like recess-mounted brakes. Replacing the standard 27" wheels
with 700's requires the long-reach brakes like the Tektros. Thanks.

Drilling

Submitted by soundsgreen on 08/20/2008.

The front is fairly simple. Just drill the back side of the fork to the O.D. of the smaller part of the set in nut. But the rear is a compomise. The easy way is to drill from the brake side all the way through unless you can get a small enough tool in from the back between the seat tube.

Good Luck!

I almost forgot. You can avoid drilling the back all together by using a front caliper on the rear. The longer stud will stick out enough for you to get a normal nut treaded onto it.
