Was working on getting some Pressure on the Front Formula Brakes today and for some reason I undid the Bolt which holds the Brake Cable onto the Caliper so I went to do it up but tightened it too much and...it Snapped

Bit stuck to what I should do as it really is a 1 off part. The bolt has a bit of thread on the end and then 2 tiny holes on either side for the Brake Fluid to run through...

ANYONE think a Bolt from a similar Front Disc Caliper might work?aha...So Annoyed with it.

HELP would be Appreciated!


Cheers...Haha yeah its a Good Update!

Ditch the underpowered mtn bike brakes for real brakes

Ditch the underpowered mtn bike brakes for real brakes

yeah i just had to buy new master cyclinder, brake pads, pistons, and new hydraulic cable custom mate to suit new handle, i spent $50 at KTM and stil nto working , seem to have air in line cant get out,

marzocchi these days come with the upgraded nissen system, anyone know here can get one from cheers, cause the calliper on the formulas dont have a bleed nipple like big bikes so makes it hard to bleed and takes forever!.

but yeah tommy, you should just be able go to shop get one, KTM dont have any cause i was going to replace that bolt too, but yeah i wouldnt go back haha, after all money i spent and as told it would work , and they didnt give me a refund on some parts i got money back on, gave me credit the C**nts

Far Out hey haha! You've spent so much on them and there STILL not working! Must be so annoying...hope you get it Sorted SOON!

Yeah sounds pretty gay how KTM have treated you about it...I wouldnt be either if they did that to me...bloody hell...definitely should have given you a Full Refund! Damb

Heres a Pic of my ANNOYING Problem:

The Snapped Bolt which holds the Front Brake Cable onto the Caliper.

Wouldnt be TOO HARD to find a Replacement one?haha

 

[wogtaz ryder]

get her out , shouldn't be in there to tight , and go to bolt shop they mite have something you could use . its a banjo bolt for fluid right? there not cable operated ay?

Yeah will try tomorrow haha.

Must be a Banjo Bolt, yep for fluid as there a 2 real small holes drilled out on either end of the bolt...if that makes sense.

 

[wogtaz ryder]

Yep , you can even make your own out of a bolt if it comes down to it , i would assume you just have to get the holes the right length down the bolt, and the rest shouldn't really matter.

I would probably just take it to a mtbbike shop because i hate dealing with this sort of crap lol , they should have plenty of calipers to suit the bolt pattern you would think , and they could bleed and sort them all out.

Haha Sweet!

Im at my Parent's place on the South Coast...Ill just wait it out until I head back up to Newcastle to get it sorted haha.

Dont really need front brakes anyways

Cheers for the Help, Appreciate it!

Hi!

Oh yeah Sweet! Well my Rear Hand Brake is actually a Fabbed up job...theres a metal cube welded onto the rear hub and then Ive just got a cable running from the bars, through a hole in the metal cube then onto the brake arm.

BUT with your Fast50s Kit it should work with your Billetware Swingarm...the Bracket wont go around the rectangular part of the Swingarm hey...wont it bolt onto the circular tubing of the Swingarm on the right hand side? The section which rises to the shock mount...you should be able to bolt it on there at the lowest point and it should work sweet still...

A Pic would help out but it will work with your Billetware Swinga for sure!

Let me know if that sounds like it would work?haha

 

[crf50 2008]

yea good idea ill give it a try cheers

 

[tomy251]

Too Easy! That should work haha
