I am going to be getting hydraulic brakes for my 29er soon, and John
Childs has advised me thus far to do this:
Quoted message said:
Unicycle.com sells the needed brake mount hardware:
http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=549You'll need to get the mounting hardware welded or brazed to the
frame. You'll first need to strip the chrome away from the area where
the brake mounts will be welded. Then after they're welded on you'll
need to paint over that part of the frame to keep the frame from
rusting.
My questions are:
1.) Where are some common places that could weld or braze the hardware
onto my frame? John said that darren bedford could do it if i sent the
frame, but I do not want to pay a lot for the shipping/new paint job,
etc.
2.) What kind of paint is the best to use, I dont really care how the
frame looks, i just care about preventing rusting, so I wouldnt mind
just painting over the stripped chrome.
3.) What is the best way to line up the mounting hardware with the rim,
so that whoever is welding it onto my frame does not put it in the wrong
place.
