Got lost in the football game and forgot to add- Back in the early 1980s Moots offered clamp on canti bosses so one could do what you ask for. Change from 700 road to 584 MtB. Andy
Yes, there is no problem that a good disc brake can't solve...however, I'm a glutton for punishment.
I suppose I will make my own then, assuming nothing pops up. I wonder if I could just modify existing full braze-ons - cut off the stud flush with the little plate and braze a threaded nut on the backside?
Thanks for the reply.
