Will the brake centralisers you see on 1000's work with 880's ?

Thanks

think you,ll have to buy the whole spindle

Definately don't. I have had one before and it slid off the spindle.

Just don't know whether it will work with an 880?

No worries

.....Certainly not on the one I had, but there could have been different ones

They will come off the old spindle easy enough, and I would expect they`ll go on the 880 spindles ok, but I doubt if they`ll work $:-\$

The spindle for the centralisers to work needs to have a square boss for the centraliser to sit on, I doubt whether the 880 spindle has this

My fekin brakes always sit pi55ed, I've never been able to get them to pull properly, even as a kid.

1 pull on the brake and for the rest of the time 1 pad will rub
