[RBW] Center/Sidepulls ok on a Quickbeam or Simple One?
Can one do this? Or is it not a good idea? I see that there is what looks like brake mounting holes, if that's what they are, in the fork crown and brake bridge. The reason I ask is, I like sidepulls better than Canti's/V's. Or, centerpulls mounted to the canti studs ok? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I think the short answer is not really. The SimpleOnes were going to be side/center pull but the builder used the wrong kind of bridge, and rather than replace the bridges Grant opted to add the canti posts. I think it would be unsafe to mount a brake on the rear brake bridge of a SimpleOne, and probably the same for a Quickbeam. You could forgo the rear brake as some folks do with fixed gears. The canti posts are in the wrong place fo mounting side pulls. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Center/Sidepulls ok on a Quickbeam or Simple One?
I have centerpulls on my QB as it was a 650b conversion (canti posts were removed). They've been working fine, though I do ride it as a fixed gear and tend to use all braking options when stopping or slowing. Happy holidays, all!
