Montage und Justage von Zangenbremsen: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

Because the trend toward recessed mounting and toward short reach calipers happened simultaneously, most short-reach calipers come set up for recessed mounting. Medium- and long-reach calipers usually come with longer centerbolts for conventional mounting.

*You might mount a rear brake for recessed mounting ahead of the seatstays, as long as the back side of the brake bridgeBrake front cropped can be safely drilled out. This is more likely to work with a single-pivot or dual-pivot brake, due to the difficulty of routing the cable with a centerpull. Use an 8 mm or USA letter-size O drill bit. A 5/16"drill bit is slightly smaller, and you may have to ream the hole slightly. Radiused washers (as shown on the nutted-style brake in the photo above) must be used if the brake bridge has no flat mounting surfaces. The washer that goes under the nut must be drilled out, and so must the brace of a baggage rack, if it attaches to the brake bolt. Remember to reverse the brake shoes if they are single-ended.

*    Front brakes for recessed mounting have bolts that are long enough to use them as rear brakes, if you substitute the appropriate washers and a 6 mm nut.

*    Drill out the back of the fork crown, just as is described above for the rear brake.
