Need Front Brakes for Felt MP
- Thread starter Terry Blow
- Start date
Hi Terry, glad to hear your MP is in. I just finished installing a set of Sun caliper brakes (LBS item) on my Springer. They work good comboed up w/ the coaster in back. Easy fit up w/ no mods. Hey good luck w/ your build and thanx again for the G4 tests.
Ya I Finaly got the darn thing ordered it back in october I dont think caliper brakes will work on the MP it has painted or powder coated rims so it has to be disk or drum by the time the bike is done you would have to be rich to by one I'll post some pic's after I resize them back to brakes I have been searching the net not having any luck I can find them ok but they are out of stock for drum can't find any thing for disk any one have any sources
The copper tube was just a cheap and simple way to fix the brake arm without a lot of hassle. The wheel is a 2.125 x 26 with 12 ga spokes and a Sturmy Archer drum available from Husky Bicycles for about $80 plus shipping.

In planing for a future build with a MP, I was thinking this would be perfect; Sturmey Archer Aluminium Front Hub X-FDD 30T Not a bad price for it's function and reputation

I just like the thought of using the MP's head light. Is just such a cool light. Works on batts, so not a big deal, just saying for my future build. Big time, thanks for the link!
(Just ordered a felt Heritage! Local shop is chargeing me $470. MSRP is 599
Was a toss up. MP, Chief or the Heritage)Just noticed, your second link is more $ then the dyno one from first link.
I am sure I have seen JensonUSA, but did not know they were so well priced. Thanks Terry! A year ago, I could not find a brand named one for under 100 or +$'s
