REFLECTOR: Cleaveland brakes

[Randy Wharton]

You only need to drill 2 more! Two of the existing ones remain; you simply
rotate the plate until what used to be the front hole on top lines up with
the back hole on top. I'll find that instruction and send it to you.

Thanks Guys:

 

My torque plate only has four holes in it right now so drilling four more on
the 45's won't be a problem.  I appreciate the help.

Steve, 

I have an XL-RG and I opted for the Cleveland upgrade when I ordered
the kit. I, too, "followed" the directions (I thought) and discovered
I had made a mistake. I found (later) an instruction sheet among
parts that said the caliper mounting plates should be rotated 45
degrees and the holes redrilled. This will put the caliper at a 45
degree angle at the back of the gear leg. And I had to contour the
entire bottom of my gear leg.

I can explain this best by directing you to the photos I posted on my
website when I went through the proce! ss. Explanations are there for
you to.

Go to http://clik.to/velocity, click on the "Construction Menus"
button, then click on the "Wheels/Brakes" chapter button. I have 11
photos and descriptions posted there. I hope this will help.
