[RBW] Re: XO-1 to Atlantis

2010-02-26 Thread Mitch Browne
Thanks guys,

I did the cable adjuster file technique and then found that campy
adjusting bolts work fine and salvaged one off an old Paramount. I've
since ordered a replacement bolt for $7.95 from ebikestop.com

Hopefully that will be the end of it.

cheers, Mitch.

  Subject: [RBW] XO-1 to Atlantis

  Since I've read that the XO-1 is the predecessor to the Atlantis I'm
  hoping this isn't off group / topic. I actually took possession of an
  Atlantis frame last Monday and a purple 1992 X0-1 yesterday. How many
  is to many? Anyhow, the adjusting bolt on the XO-1 DiaCompe BRS300
  front brake is missing the adjusting screw so the adjustment can only
  be made at the pinch bolt. I did a quick google search and it doesn't
  appear a replacement is readily available. Is there an alternative
  part I should think about. Should I look into wide mouth Silver's?  
  Any
  thoughts or experience appreciated. As always thanks for the wealth  
  of
  knowledge here. Mitch.

Go to your LBS and ask for a cable adjuster bolt (not split) with nut.

Clamp in vise, file off an edge, and slip it in the caliper.  Voila!
