|   How do I enlarge cable stops? | Stw
Jul 22, 2003 4:22 AM | | I have a RacerX...how do I enlarge the brake cable stops on the top tube to accept hydrolic lines? Using a drill doesn't work cuz the chuck rubs the TT, any idea? or forget it and just use those adapters? |
| næstep inspired me to do the same to my frame...... | man w/ one hand
Jul 22, 2003 8:59 AM | | the post he hooked you up with is the reason too. He made it look plum
perfesshinol too. I didn't even need to tape up the surroundin' areas
on the last 3 stops. After the 1st one it felt natural. The "Dremel",
when weilded properly, allows the user wonderful control of the task @ hand.
It worked great & was A LOT easier than I expected it to be. I was worried
more over getting my derailuer adj. properly than "boogerin'up" my frame.
I did wait till it was out of warranty though. Go for it. I've
ridden some really nasty, muddy, wet rides since doing mine & it has paid off.
Good Luck ! Let us know how it works out. |

To feed hydraulic lines, you would have to diconnect the brake lines and bleed the brakes after hooking them back up. A royal p.i.t.a if you ask me and not worth it on a frame with the cable routing underneath the top tube. You won't even notice the adapters after they are installed. |

Butt anyway, that didn't quite read right, did it? Guess I need to fire my editor.
Next topic, please! |

Now thankfully you didn't mention inserting hose or bleeding, otherwise I'd really be concerned! My Avid's avoid all than mess.
