I'm building a 1983 Carlton Clubman up as a training bike. It takes old style nutted brakes as opposed to the ones with recessed allen bolts. What suggestions does the massive have?
- Must be nutted, not recessed
- Drop (centre of bolt hole to centre of rim) is 65mm (27" frame running 700c wheels - plenty of tyre and mudguard room!)
- Would be nice if they could stop 120Kg of man, bike and luggage... (I am happy to change blocks to modern type)
- Don't HAVE to be period (1983) but if I got all ther above in a period stopper I'd be happy.
- Sidepull (Though technically I could add some hangers and go Centre Pull...)
- Not Shimano (ok, I'm a snob, don't care, had too many Shimano components wear out early, will no longer buy their stuff)
