Shimano Tourney Centerpull brake
Are there any secrets to those?
I couldn't even find a pic with all the parts. It looks pretty standard centerpull tho, right? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

The main secret is setting up the saddle wire for maximum mechanical advantage. Sheldon Brown has an article on that for centerpulls and cantilevers on his web site and there are other sources. Good brake pads too, the ones with those brakes are likely to be decades old. |

By saddle wire, do you mean the wire-wire or the little arm that could be a wire? BTW here we see the advantage of a terminology poster which John B. ridiculed in another thread Good brake pads too, the ones with those brakes are likely to be decades old. Good point. This one is a Mustang from Trelleborg. It has a "Gel" saddle from Bianchi and the Shimano 5SP Positron shifter with a single chainring front. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly it has a kickstand and a rack. The tires are 32-630 or 27x1-1/4. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

Which model? http://equusbicycle.com/bike/shimano...ocat750015.pdf It looks very much like the centerpulls on page 2 only instead of a horizontal wire there is a little arm that hooks into the main/only wire. The wire goes to the right to a clamp and symmetrically from left comes the arm that hooks onto the wire. There is a little quick-release-ish lever that comes with the little arm. "tourney shimano" is on the front. The brake is all black. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

On the chainring it says "Japan Threearrows 46T". -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

I initially trained as a machinist in a shop where actual "Machinists" worked. The Apprentice Master had gone to work as an apprentice himself when he was 14 years old and was nearly 70 years old when I knew him. Not a poster in sight.

OK, so I shouldn't do it, just because some one-dimensional guy you knew didn't do it all his long life? Why are you telling me this, really? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |
