ad999 (posh hombre)

i got it to replace the ill-fitting fly but tbh, its just the same!

both move around on the brake bosses way more than my old 990's

am currently running a demoition with heatsink pads.

but the sealed bearings are shagged in them now.

Going to go back to me suelo (fly flatkand brand), I machined it down to fit a frame. it sits so close to the frame it looks like your not running a brake.

odyssey linear cable and a tech66 lever.

FLY REAR. OLD DIA COMPE AD 990 ON FRONT (WOULD PREFER A SUELO BUT THEY ARE HARD AND EXPENSIVE TO GET HOLD OF)

darkersomeday · « **Reply #18 on:** June 06, 2008, 09:42 AM »

you'd think with this site being O/S biased there'd be a little more allegiance shown to dia-compe!

but everyone's running fly's

Hombre. Never really liked them compared to AD990s, but I needed a low-stack brake and had the spares to cobble one together.
It works better now than I remember it doing several years ago, maybe the expensive pads are helping.
