Rear brake issue - where how and what type ?
« on: August 18, 2013, 04:00 PM »
Dumb dumb dumb question....

My latest purchse didn't come with a rear brake - thats fine I thought - I'll just wack one on - however....

I can't figure out how the brake is meant to mount as there is no usual top bracket rear mounting.  The mounting seems to be on trhe lower bracket.  That means if I try and put a standard MX side pull lever it winterferesd with the pedal arm.

So...

Is there a special rear brake assembly for lower bracket mounts?  Or am I completely missing something ?

Help!  Please   :-[

It has a hoop bar at the top but that does not have a hole drilled to mount brakes.
It has what I would consider a mounting bracket at the bottom on the lower strutt.

I would either try mounting a caliper to the very underneath of the frame, as thats how it looks as though it designed to be ran.  Or maybe use the coaster bracket for a coaster brake  :daumenhoch:

It may well need a specific caliper though, like the one that the mongoose decade ran  :daumenhoch:
