Should I build a dumb brake-less vintage track bike?

I wouldn’t wanna ride brakeless, but if you don’t mind, and it won’t be a $ sink for something you’d rather ride/buy/build then yeah.

SQ I have a rawland demiporteur and want to mount it to cantilever bosses. Does someone make the correct strut for this?

I know I have the original struts somewhere, and if nothing else I could run it p-clamped, but to the studs seems stronger.

I bet the little L-shaped pieces that the sun lite canti rack mounts with would do the job.

IIRC the sunlite L pieces are riveted on.

I’m positive you can find a ready made L bracket somewhere to go between the strut and the brake stud.

Could also try punching out the rivet, but not sure I wanna sacrifice even a cheap sunlite rack. Hardware store l bracket didn’t even cross my mind.

i like using a chopped up IS to PM disc adaptor and a correspondingly longer bolt for the brake

Someone else posted these the other day. Maybe they’d work?

I just bought one off Uncle Jeff and installed it last weekend and it was absolutely not riveted.

@johnasavoia this is exactly what I used with my rawland rack. I had a bent sunlite (not sure how anyone uses this rack withOUT bending it) and so I just pried the steel L brackets off of the aluminum rack. It’s that cheap where they came off pretty easy without drilling etc.

I’m starting to think my direct from China ‘sunlite rack’ was a knockoff. Was definitely riveted and I never bent it. It did snap in two carrying +25lbs of tools and lunch across Berkeley tho.

I ordered a bunch of Sunlite racks at the repair shop I was at and put one on every canti bike I had. Surprisingly never broke one even when one of my buff leg homies sat on it. It bent but yeah

Years ago they were rivited, only started coming with nutted angle-able struts maybe a couple years ago? Probably both kinds kicking around. Tang is cheap no matter which version. I usually replace em with something from the hardware store.

Is 1 wrap of Stan’s rim tape enough if I am using tubes?

9895

it will work, ya.

if you have tape available it doesn’t hurt to wrap twice for longevity sake
