2Hip Pork - Brakes??

[GavinDavis]

To anyone that has owned a 2Hip Pork, is there any chance that you could shed some light on which rear brake to use?

From what I can gather, the alloy Pork has more clearance at the rear than the cromo Pork, and can therefore handle a 990 brake.

The problem I have is that im building a cromo model and have attempted to fit a 990.....and theres no way in hell it could ever work .  It simply fouls the bottom of the top tube just past the seat tube.

Was this a major design fault or was there a specific caliper that was used back in the day?  Im sure an Evo would fit but its so much newer than the frame.....so whats the crack lads?

this might just stop the heavy beast

It looks as though I might have to resort to something along those lines lol

Ill try and get some Stu.....this bike is crazy!  Im sure I remember munny saying something about a specific 999 brake on the cromo frames but im not 100 percent

[GavinDavis]

Stu.....just sent you the pic through FB.....the mrs is hogging the laptop and my phobe stresses itself out trying to copy links on Photobucket.....if you could do the honours at all that'd be sweet

I've heard about this problem 2 what you need to do is cut the frame in half and then wrap in a bin liner, then throw it in the bin! The brake will fit then

Ahhh I see now....thats how they were fitted back in the day, it all makes sense now

[GavinDavis]

Awesome!  Cheers mate 

Bmx city had them for £15 but they've blummin sold out now....doh!

Ill keep my eyes peeled, I might just build it with an Evo and swap it over when I can get a 999 

[webbie]

No worries mate have you got an evo to try before you buy as i'm not sure it will work
