odyssey u4 stiffener plate

[FluffyChicken]

Does anyone have the instructions for these and how to use all the bits with them?

Thanks

More out of curiosity than to stick a U on or vice versa

Edit : I mean the well 'ard proper original one, not the thin flexy 'plus' version.

I have the standard hardware for the Ti plus - I don't know if it is different to the older version ?

I have custom hardware to ...

Re:

It's a different design brace. The old is a thicker stiffer aluminium setup, albeit with less clearece.

The canti's bolt bit is probably similar the same but it the bolt on U-Brake adaptor I was more interested in.
It can also used as a u brake booster.. One minute

The u4+ as far as I know just came with the normal canti's bolt bits slightly different from the u4, (the odessey style bolt head surround washer and the spacers and a bolt)

The u4 had a bolt, the washers, some nice resessed clamping brace washers
Then a load of other machined Alu bits and bobs for U-brakes

Normal bolt bits

Yeah, the plus just came with those spacers on the left, Ti bolts and cup washers

It looks like those special bolts are to spread the load / increase the clamping area - the same as what I did with my special mounts.

The number of braces I see for sale (that in my eyes) have been bodged with small bolt heads chewing into the brace makes me sad - at least fit some penny washers or something to spread the load a bit !

Re:

Do you want to borrow a GT Ben and play about with the u brake bits?

What none of them show is the bits I'm on about. Chris I though a double ubrake setup would look cool.
