Disc Brake Mounting Problem
Last fall I purchased a Schwinn Sierra GSD frameset from Nashbar. I am
building a comfort/town bike for myself with spare parts. I tried to mount avid disc bakes but the barrel adjuster is directly over the chain stay making cable routing appear impossible. The caliper mounts are inside the rear triangle (dont know name for this mounting system). Is there an adapter to make this work or are there disc calipers with more offset to clear the chainstays. The bike came with F&R discs so they must mount somehow. Thanks in advance |

Thanks in advance I don't know whether it will help but Park tools has an article about Avid brakes at http://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-...isc-adjustment Might be of interest. -- Cheers, John B. |
