Hi all.
Want to fit some Magura rim brakes onto a bike that usually takes a U-Brake.
The mounting studs appear to be 9mm ø rather than the 8mm ø that is usual for canti mounts.
I know that Maguras can be fitted in place of a U by flipping the mounts upside down - indeed there are a couple of bikes on here that have had the treatment.
Question:
Have the Magura mounts in these cases been filed down by 1mm so that the mounting will slide onto the stud, or am I missing a trick?
Can't see any other way of fitting them unless I'm being a tad slow...
The studs can't be replaced btw as they are brazed to the frame.
Cheers in advance for any help or suggestions from the brethren of RB...
