    I was thinking of trying these brakes
    Dia Compe 808 Bike Brake Calipers Silver High Leverage – Front & Rear

    The Tektro 559 need spacers at the rear forks to allow them to work, I was hoping these may work at the rear without a stack of spacers, and wondered if anyone else has experience of these or other more modern brakes at the rear of an original F Frame.

    I have fitted centre pull brakes to one of my f frames. The rear one is underneath the forks. All that’s needed are a couple of home made brackets for the cable adjusting screw. Pictures available from clive.fenner@btinternet.com
