Hi all,
I'm working on outfitting my Mongoose Tyax Comp with a 40cc GEBE setup. As a result of the GEBE mounts and new rear wheel, I'm swapping out the rear disc brakes for linear pull brakes. When I went to install the new linear pull brakes, I realized that I'm missing a piece of the puzzle: brake studs (brake "boss" maybe?).
Basically, instead of having a cylindrical shaft sticking out from the bike frame, onto which the linear pull brake arm slides, with inside threads for the brake arm attachment bolt to screw into, I have a big (maybe 10mm?) hole in the frame with threads on the inside. It's my understanding that I need something called "brake studs" that screw into this hole and provide the cylindrical form about which the linear pull brake arm rotates.
Has anyone had this problem before? Where should I go to look for brake studs? All the local bike shops in the area either don't know what I'm talking about or don't carry brake studs. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
