What brake?

iPete

Tried to fit a rear brake to n+1 and failed. The brake goes in but the bolt on the other side is too big.

Any ideas? It is a Trek T1 frame which is hard to find much info on. Apparently shipped with brakes in some parts of the world. Or is it just a tease of a hole that doesn't do anything?


Deffo need to be longer too.

My understanding is you need a shorter brake nut

Thanks, thinking the same! Just stole my housemates front brake of his trek 1.5 and it fits bar needing the right bolt to hold it in. Think I'll just go down a hardware store tbh!

Might just go fixed

I'm assuming the barrel bolt diamater is too big to go into the hole in your second picture.

I had the same problem and bought these brakes:
