I've recently been building up a commuter bike from an old Gary Fisher
mountain bike frame (1990 or earlier, I'm guessing). When it came time
to put the rear brakes on, I noticed that the brazeons were about an
inch higher up on the rear triangle than they should be. All
cantilever and v-brake designs I've seen need the brazeon to be about
one inch below the rim (assuming 26" wheels), but in this case the
brazeons are almost exactly in line with the rim. Does anyone have an
idea as to what kind of brakes I need to be looking for? I looked at
the U-brake/BMX type, but they need the brazeons to be above the rim.
Thanks for your help.
