2001 Klein Adept Comp Brakes(3 posts)

2001 Klein Adept Comp BrakesBobH
Mar 22, 2003 5:41 PM
My bike came equipped with Shimano M420 brakes. After 2 years of hard ridding I decided to replace them. I purchaced Shimano XT V brakes, however I am having a problem fitting them to my frame on the back right ( looking at the bike from behind). The bolt hole is bigger than the bolts that came with the XT's. The fronts are fine. What do I need to do? Are these brakes installable on Adept Comp's? Please help. Thanks
Bob, can you...Sparty

...post a picture? When you say "The bolt hole is bigger than the bolts that came with the XT's," I don't know which bolts/holes you're talking about.

Thanks,
Sparty
I bet the brake bosses unthreaded from the frame...shiggy

...instead of the brake bolt unthreading from the boss.

If this is the case, the bosses will still be in your old brakes. Remove them and reinstall on your frame (use LocTite).
