First the Bay Bridge, now my LongLow. I was working on my front brakes, got the right side cantilever arm off (older Ritchey Logic brakes), though with some effort. I realize now there must have been thread-locker on the bolt. The left side was equally tough, and after about a turn and a half, the bolt head sheared right off - leaving the bulk of the bolt in the canti boss.
I'll check with RBW on Monday, but wonder if anyone on the list knows whether older Rivs (my LongLow was made in 1998) used screw-in cantilever bosses? Or were they all brazed? I don't see any wrench flats on the base of the boss, so I don't expect I can use a ProblemSolvers stud: http://problemsolversbike.com/products/cantilever_studs More likely, I'll have to drill the old bolt, and use an easy-out to get it out. - Andrew "not a Sunday rider," Berkeley -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
