NO NO NO , ad 990 won't do , thats a u brake not a cantilever brake ....

You're sure that HAF runs a canti brake? I was convinced my mates one was AD lugs...... $:-\$

They definatly look in the right place for cantis and not a u brake.
Try to get some old shimano lx low profile ones so they dont hit your feet.They dont stick out and should be the right age as well

I will try to find a pic.

try these as they were about 1996/97

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #7 on:** December 04, 2007, 08:50 PM »

That's gotta be a weird one. S&M putting cantis on their freestyle/street bike? Weird weird weird......

That said, I know fookall about S&Ms really

will cantis work on that frame? it looks like the cable guides are more suited for v brakes

I'm sure that Alex mentioned previously some limited run HAF frames with the canti brake option. Where is the S&M fount of knowledge when you need him?

mi16kie · « **Reply #11 on:** December 04, 2007, 09:32 PM »

I remember Tommy Bowers having one and i think his was cantis on the rear

I'd go for this.....

The lugs are way too low down the stays for an AD990, plus I was running an A Brake in 96 so it's also era-correct.

Lazarou · « **Reply #16 on:** December 04, 2007, 11:15 PM »

....and the lugs look taller and thinner than AD lugs.

Bob_Acid · « **Reply #17 on:** December 04, 2007, 11:16 PM »

What's the little bit sticking out of the back of the top tube? is that the cable stop?

That's just a guide i think.

Bob_Acid · « **Reply #19 on:** December 04, 2007, 11:24 PM »

So where is the cable stop? it's a long way from there to the lugs

That's another thing that makes me think it's canti lugs as you wouldn't need a cable stop.

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #21 on:** December 04, 2007, 11:26 PM »

I'm surprised anyone would want cantis on a bike like that...

Bob, the cable runs straight into one of the canti arms.

Lazarou · « **Reply #22 on:** December 04, 2007, 11:29 PM »

Fufanus would be a breeze! Manuals on the other hand.......

Bob_Acid · « **Reply #23 on:** December 04, 2007, 11:30 PM »

gotcha, sorry i've just cought up....

thinking in terms of 90's mtb canti's that needed centre pull.

i'll get me coat

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #24 on:** December 04, 2007, 11:31 PM »

The loop of the cable would be bothering me. Wouldn't you catch your foot in it all the time? It's not like you can tuck it away like on a front AD or summat...

One fingered manuals for sure
