Mount front brakes on rear?
Nashbar has a good deal on ultegra brake calipers; I mounted them on
my front wheel. My rear caliper is kinda corroded, and I was considering mounting another front caliper on the rear wheel... Is this a good idea? |

Is this a good idea? A front is a rear with the brake shoes reversed. Bolt length varies so if you can, you may.

Is this a good idea? If you have an old bolt for the rear, you can disassemble the brake and replace the longer front bolt with a shorter one required for the rear. I believe this is even easier to do with dual pivot sidepulls than the old style single pivots, but it's been a while since I've taken one of these apart. |
