I have a 29 frame that is missing the holes in the frame for the ebrake rod crossmember that connects the rods to the rear brakes. Can any one tell me what I have?
Greezybob, at least I helped you load pics ! The real techs should be responding soon. I'm just the greeter tonight Check out plucks site, that's where I'm heading now. Pat
This is a 29 frame....three holes. Two bolts hold a cup on the inside of the frame that the brake cross shaft rotates in...center hole for a grease fitting...you can see the brake actuating arms go around the frame bottom
That's some good information. Thanks 1955cj5. I need to find the mechanism for the 29 e brake or can I use the 31 mechanism parts if I drill out the middle hole in the frame?
Might be like the early frames yet, see cross shaft leaning on pole behind frame ? bolts on inside of frame with three holes, 2 for bolts and center for zerk.
I don't know about that....I would look for the original style parts...you might have fit issues down the road with the 31 cross shaft....but that is just a guess...
agreed - i can tell just by looking at it its easier to service....
Yup berts im 100% sure would have what your looking for. Check the swapmeet area on the forum too - its one of those parts that virtually cant go bad so theres thousands of them out there.
