[RBW] Center pull braze on brake questions

Hello everyone, I just snagged an elephant frame whose geometry is modeled on the NFE (650B), but with center pull braze ons rather than disc brakes. I am looking for recommendations for brakes. From what I can gather, I basically can have the Herse or Compass center pulls if go new, and Mafac raid

There’ll be pictures of the whole process, no question.To answer your question, I still have all of them. The Quickbeam is currently stripped down while I decide whether to repaint it. It’s probably going to be sold, as my knees like having low gears available at the shift of a lever.i suspect

Ah, so you're the one who picked that Elephant. That looked sweet! I've not used the Mafacs, but I know there are definitely people who love them. The Pauls are good, but if you have to use the Mafacs I bet they'll be great. On Sunday, November 3, 2024 at 8:20:56 PM UTC-5 John Hawrylak, Woodsto

[RBW] Re: anyone know the ERD of the wheels on THIS era of clem smith jr?

If these are the same rims on the current completes (Alex DM24) then you can find the ERDs here: https://alexrims.com/products/dm24/ Can you measure the rim width? If the outer width is 32mm then it's a pretty good chance it is the DM24. -Dave On Sunday, November 3, 2024 at 8:11:55 PM UTC-5 Mic

[RBW] Re: Center pull braze on brake questions

Robert I have RH centerpulls and they were a PITA to adjust the brake pads and also required a lot of time. Once you losses the nuts, the pad can move up/down, in/out and rotate making adjustment tedious and time consuming. There is supposed to be a tool to hold the pad, but it is not availa

[RBW] Re: anyone know the ERD of the wheels on THIS era of clem smith jr?

I can’t help with the ERD, but I’m dry curious what you used to stick the headbadge. I think the double stick tape typically used is about a sixteenth inch thick. If you go to the hardware store, ask for VHB outdoor doublestick tape. That’s “very high bond”, and shouldn’t bump out the badge too

[RBW] Also ISO fixed/single speed screw-on type hub that can be spaced to 135 mm.

Someone offered a ss wheel (I think it’s a wheel) but while I’m waiting I might ask about a fixed hub if anyone has one in a 135 or convertible form. 32 holes. Would prefer non-disc but disc OK Color no object but should have smooth bearings. Cheaper is better. Thanks. -- Patrick Moore Albu
