Brake question v brake adapter

[Ingola]

Since ,243 are still in business, I would ask them what the frame needs.

I did haven't gotten a response they mostly build motorcycles now

Either a washer that fits over the studs, mark it and drill out for the spring or brakes that don't require spring holes

It looks proprietary to me. Thorn cycles have something that looks very similar. Not sure its the same thing, though.

You'd obviously have to epoxy the washer once got it right but this is bodgetown

You are looking for something similar to this.
These ones are from Kinesis UK for one of there cyclocross frames I have no idea if the bolt spacing is right unfortunately.

This is the only pic I can find with bosses attached, they look similar from the side but that's not definitive by any means.

I have a Banshee frame with almost identical looking mounts. Mine did come with the extra bits. I don't have a picture, but they are kinda cheesy cast metal things. Meant to adjust between 24" and 26" wheels.

i have some v brakes somewhere they have the stud an spring plate still attached
seems like someone loctited the bolts an they have unscrewed from the forks instead of the brake boss

As said above. The 3 mounting holes are for a 2 bolt adapter that can be mounted to cater for either 24 or 26 inch wheels. You'll just need to confirm the hole spacing of some of the suggested adapters is the same as your frame, then happy days if so.

If not, and I'm no engineer (thankfully it seems based on opinions of them in another thread), you could probably quite easily make something. A rectangle of metal (Aluminium probably), a couple of holes to mount to your frame, a threaded hole for the brake mount (m8 or m10 are common sizes for these), then either a few holes drilled to retain the v brake spring tab, or similar to older pace forks, a little metal tab with a hole that the brake mount holds in place for the spring tab.

Probably wouldn't cost much, some off cuts of metal, assume you have a drill and some files. A cheap thread tap and your good. I could give you some brake mounts as I seem to have loads.
