Retro Disc Brakes?

[scant]

Thats how they came scant, I was tempted to get something nicer made up but it has always done the job

I know mate thats how they always were from new.. always looked like a cheap bodge IMHO.

Cant be retro if it doesnt have its jubilee clip fixing
This was mine

who'd have thought that Hope could become a retro brand :shock:

loving that rear, trying to get the same result...........sort of on-going development really,

question is, will the brake stud snap off

I shouldnt think the brake boss will suffer too much,if youre worried the set on on the green clocky was cobbled together by my local mechanic and i reckon would fit and non disc frame
Given its simplicity
thats a bit of rim tape wrapped around the stay for protection from the jubilee clip,i havent moved it in 8 years .So it must be a secure enough way of fixing it to a stay :? if it hasnt moved despite what i threw at it

I also think its a lot better looking than a big clunky bar thing

sorry for the delay tshzg, number stamped on the back of the pads is either CFA 248 or CFA 24B but most likely the first one.

just thought I'd update this thread with a link found by dave_H,

this is the one I mentioned for the early mechanical Hopes. compare to the drawing not the photo for what you need.
