TheMunn Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Hello, I'm getting pretty sick and tired of 2-bolt magura's, they really don't like me and are quite annoying so i thought about my options and saw this: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com//Models.aspx?ModelID=1269 I only have one query, would the bolt's tighten into the black parts on the left, if they don't then this would not work an i will be sad. So i am asking, do they ?! Thanks alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 If you've got an alu frame, you can forget about a braze-on kit either way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 (edited) I always thought they were a waste to sell them with the mounts. My friend has loads of them, as he didnt use them. There arnt that many non alu frames clicking about, and there're not many people who have actualy welded them on, i think. Edited January 23, 2005 by JT!

Unless you have a steel frame, then these won't work for you.... What frame do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMunn Posted January 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Bikes in sig, my brother own's/runs a metal company thing and i could have him weld it up and everything, but i guess it wont work ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Welding/brazing steel to aluminium is bloody hard. I'd stay with the 2 bolt Evo adapters or go to a rear vee brake. Don't start cutting the vee mounts off, thinking you can convert the frame to 4 bolt. If you do find/make some 4 bolt mounts in aluminium for the frame, and weld them on, you ruin the heat treatment of the frame and it'll end up cracking.

Will Arnold Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 the mounts with the braze on kits are 20 quid and the echo ones are 20 quid, i'd rather go for the one with the braze on ness. >_< Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IOLO Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Good luck in even trying. It's not hard it's impossible (Y) ← just what i was gonna say.. lol ive used the braze on kit twice,, once on my first custom frame.. they worked great! and secondly to make some 25" to 26" monty brake adaptors.. thay are good.. but if you have an ALU frame is a deff NO! i have also converted to v mount ALU frames to 4 bolt.. but cutting the 4 bolt mounts off an old frame or fork.. then welding the ALU MOUNT TO THE aLU FRAME... BUT ALUWELDING IS DIFFICULT AND EXPENSIVE,, SO IT YOUR CHOICE.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Wow i didnt even know you could buy a brazing kit, that might come in handy one day (N) Isn't that cheaper than just the clamps on their own? :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave85 Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 An early Pace XC frame (N) ← RC100, and i think they were an option on the 200 too (N)" Doesnt really count though, cos barely anyone has those frames, even compared to the small trials market.

TTTETom Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Can someone please explain to me why these mounts cant be used without the steel threaded plates, just putting the bolts straight through into the mounts on the frame???
