On my Redline Monocog 29er ss with tiny 17" frame (that is the Medium), there is no way that a conventional hangar would work -- simply not enough room between brakes and stop -- so I ended up filing out a stem mount hangar to clamp onto the seatpost. But I got around the hassle by using V brakes and, later, discs. I agree with Jim: why not calipers? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
