Brake stud for an old Cannondale help/advise needed - SORTED

Swede · Jul 4, 2013

The original brake studs from my '87 Cannondale have been lost

and I need to find some replacements.

The thread into the frame is M10 (the big bolt in the picture below fits quite nicely) but what mounting diameter does a roller cam need? It's certainly not 8mm as the old bosses from my Funk rattle around a bit! Is a U-brake 9mm?

These guys might have something but I'm just not 100% sure what to order (if I can at all).

Can I buy replacements if so where from?

Cheers

I've made a bit of progress on this but if anyone has an old 'dale and could take some pictures of what I need it would be appreciated...

The pivot OD (I think) needs to be 8.9mm which (again I think) is the same as a U brake and looking at the few photos there are of roller cam equipped Cannondale’s I’m guessing the stud looks something like this (this came of a GT)?

The "Suntour" (metric) sized roller cam bosses are 8.9mm dia x 16.5mm long. See here: http://www.paragonmachineworks.com/cgi- ... key=BK0009 Although those won't work for your application.

Thanks, at least that confirms the OD is 8.9mm. Anyone got a set of these or know where I can find some?

Where abouts are you?

I've found a solution

. Bike-Stuff have these for BMX's, but they're not of the website (I had to ask); should do the trick nicely.
