FAT~DAN Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 heya, first of all does anybody run a rear ronnie in a echo pure second of all if i am using the 2 bolt mount elbow bolts (cut down) to use for my 4 bolt bolts will it make the clamps not go as far up/down in the frame making my pad sit off the rim or onto the tyre? and 3 if you are using the right bolts and a ronnie and have pad problems please can you tell me what you did thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dave Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 (edited) Dan i told you last night, your guna have to file your brake mounts down! putting 2bolt adapters on it wont help, because they sit much higher away from the frame.......cant be arsed to try and explain it, go and imagine the brake sittin higher up.... (for people that dont understand what he means, the brake mounts are welded on to high) Dave :) edit : had a re-think, you COULD try, puttin 2 bolt adapters on, then, run the maggie mounts pointing towards the dropout, i havent really put much thought into this, so it might be way too overkill, but worth a try. also your guna need a rock'ard booster other wise ull have muchos flexos Edited March 16, 2005 by Mr Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 another really well made frame :) Do they just play pin the brake mounts on the frame? LEON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 If the 4 bolt mounts don't work, get a new frame. Surely that would count as a manufacturing defect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMunn Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Will the rim actually fit in the frame right with the normal 4-bolt mounts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatmike Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 If the 4 bolt mounts don't work, get a new frame. Surely that would count as a manufacturing defect? ← It's the same on all (older models, i'm not sure about the 2005) pures. (Y) Matt Burrow's way of solving it was to neatly file the drop outs upwards about 1/2" Seems to have done the job. (Y) Mike. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomN Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Am running a Ronnie rim in my Pure and have not had any problems setting up the brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonPace Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 (edited) I just sold the guy that frame and I had a ronnie on it no problems, just had to have the calipers as far down as possible. Just buy the proper 4 bolt mounts with the proper 4 bolt bolts! Otherwise you'll shag it. Edited March 16, 2005 by JonPace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
