Subject: [CR]CR]bushing to re-convert recessed-mount brake frames back to nutted

hello,

recently purchased a condor frame and fork that someone drilled to take recessed-mount brakes.

does anyone know of an off-the-shelf bushing to take up the slack between the brake bolt and the enlarged hole so i can use nutted brakes on this frame?

or is there some other way of dealing with this?

thanks, randy dugan

Just take the recessed brake nut, drill the threads out so a nutted brake post can pass through it, then file down the head so it's flush with the fork crown/bridge.
