[RBW] Tall Arm V-Brakes

2020-04-24 Thread Kurt Manley
I had a similar question when I ran a rack like that on my Hunq. I ended up using some new XT v-brakes I got from Riv and they worked great. I ran the cable under the rack though. It fit perfect and I had room for 29x2.35 tires with fenders. -- You received this message because you are subscr

Definitely look at the model number of your current v brakes and figure out the arm length. Then use gravelbike.com's table to buy a brake that work. I have fooled around with this same problem quite a bit. It looks like you just need a few mm longer. Franklyn -- You received this message

What everybody else said because I've been there, v-brakes with that rack are a right bugger. Not gonna happen. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email

Sell that Nitto rack, get a Mark’s rack, and use the beautiful fork-crown rack mount point that it is visible in your top photo! That’s what it’s for. Like this: > On Apr 23, 2020, at 5:14 PM, j.schwartz wrote: > > I have some old Tektro V's from the box that I put on my Clem since they were

I don’t know of any taller V brakes. This is a well known problem with that style rack. I recommend Shimano CX cantis for this situation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emai
