Floating Brake fabrication?
« on: June 07, 2006, 03:24:47 am »
Since I know there's guys on this forum who've made their own everything - from disk brake mounts to full-on carbon frames - has anyone made their own floating brake setup?  Anyone know if the swiveling hub/brake mount piece changes from bike-to-bike, or is it just the arm that changes to accomodate different mount points?  And yes, you guessed it, I'm looking to make my own.  :-)
Me riding a 5500 is like Bobcat Goldthwait riding Nikki Cox.

Good stuff.  I just had a feeling someone on here would have tried this.  :-)

Would that work on the cross link forks?
