Hi
I am hoping somebody can help here. Attached below is a pic of the brake set up that was on the bike when I bought it. The sprocket (besides that it has been painted) it out of round resulting in a situation where the brake rubs, but more annoying is that it tightens and loosens the chain as it rotates. It is not bent, but either came this way from the factory or somehow worn uneven or combination of the two. I have been looking for a replacement, but cant seem to find one with the correct bolt pattern.
regardless, I do not believe this is the original setup for this bike, based on the age of the frame, I think it should have used the spot disc caliper setup.
If I am right, is the caliper sold at allied leisure the correct unit?
Where do I find the correct sprocket to align with the bolt pattern for the rims?
How long do the bolt stand offs need to be and is there a vendor that sells them precut (5/16 bolt)
Sorry for the questions, but I would like to get this thing running true and be historically accurate in the processs
Thanks !
