Ordered the CURB DOG MUSCLE BOUND BMX BRAKE SET from Pirates to mount on the front of the Cranny. It didn't fit. The pads hit in the middle of the rim and the tire. I ovaled the mount hole in the fork and elongated the pad slot. Still wouldn't grab just the rim.
Am I missing something?
I have mounted the brake under the the existing fender mount cross bar in the back to at least take some pressure off the coaster. The tests were so-so. Definitely stopped better in the tests with it mounted on the front, even while rubbing the tire (test was done under pedal power.)
Only solution I could think of is to make a mount that attached in the existing mounting holes with new mount holes drilled into the the fabbed bracket just under the top tube of the fork and existing fender mount hole. Make sense?
Other option I have is to pick up a V brake adapter and run the set that's on my dirt jump bike...may be the way to go to be safe.
