Dia Compe Brake Help
« on: January 26, 2010, 09:40 PM »

What hardwear should I have have to mount the front and rear calipers, first time putting these kind of brakes on in years and don't know if I've got the correct hardwear for fitting.
I've got MX1000's and MX901's.

Cheers

Get some pics up  :daumenhoch:

Essentially though - if you are just talking about mounting the assembly to the bike then washers / half moon washers and a nut  :D

I'll try and get pics up later, it looks as if I'm missing half moon washers for the rear on the 901's and all washers for the 1000's.
Also, what are the right angle brackets for that come with the brakes?

Is your brake bridge a tube or a flat ?

You can get away without the half moons on a rear flat bridge as you basically put them together () to make one thick flat washer - you could get a couple of thick washers from a hardware store and that would do  ;)

They limit brake arm flex on the rear brake, they bolt on with the brake blocks and are mounted close to the rear stays, when braking they apply pressure to the stays preventing the brake arms from flexing  :daumenhoch:
