Show us yer FSR's

My solution:



Not saying it's bombproof, but for handling slow backwards rotations I think it will be fine. Put all my force on the wheel going backwards and it didn't move more than maybe a millimeter.

other solutions include:



a neat mod that is almost identical to the onza style which works to the same principle as the Specialized disc adapter. distributing the force of braking up to the vbrake boss.
running v brakes on the rear isnt uncommon, i ran disc up front and magura rim brake out back. worked fine, but i had a sharkfin sitting in my box that begged setting up (after a mammoth amount of searchign and waiting for one)..... things we do for our bikes...

That looks like a great idea. Did you make that or did you find the image somewhere?

found the image and almost got round to making it myself, but came across a sharkfin adapter

might still have some bits, but they are literally a few quid off ebay. i'll try find the thread from MTBR thats its off, think he has some instructions for it...

here you go, this thread has a lot of info and images. you may need an MTBR account (free to sign up) to see the images.
think its got the A2Z mod in there somewhere!!

Superb Thanks a Lot.

Thanks! I did some searching and also found this thread: http://forums.mtbr.com/singlespeed/rear ... 985-2.html he list then parts he used, but I can't for the life of me figure out where the hell to get a "swivel joint"

Edit: just figured it out, it's called a "heim joint" will be attempting this when I can find a hardware store that carries these

Known as rose joints as well
