Dear community,

do you have a go to replacement part for Weinmann Symetric single-pivot brakes? Problem is, modern rim brakes don’t fit the mount or are not available with long enough legs for my old city bike frames.

Do you just try got get canti-compatible frames instead?

    You can get “nutted” versions of many dual-pivot center-mount calipers for pre-recessed-nut framesets.

    If you’re good with tools, drilling the back half of the fork crown to clear the shank of a recessed nut is an easy and worthwhile task if you’re wanting to open up your options for the more important of the two calipers and/or use a Sheldon Nut for fenders.
