Has anyone in this group had experience converting the Rivendell
Silver brake to a nutted mounting? I've found one reference on a
Google search for the 650B internet list group that indicated it was
possible to swap out the center pivot bolt from a cheap Tektro 800
brake to modify the Tektro R556/Rivendell Silver for nutted mounting.
I've modified a Tektro R556 that way, using R800A bolts. Silver's are
the same brake with a different logo.
I might have even been the one who first posted that over on the 650B
list.
It's a little tedious, but nothing major. The bolts have two different
sized threaded bits on them as well as a little set screw. It takes a
little fiddling to find the sweet spot where they pivot freely, but
don't have too much play.
