  • Disc brakes and rack on an Inbred

    I’m in the process of turning my old 2003 model Inbred into something more hack bike including trying to fit a rack. The problem is that the BB7 disc brake caliper fouls the leg of the rack (I don’t no if this is a common problem with disc brake and rack setups or just on the Inbred).

    The BB7 caliper (being mechanical) is pretty chunky and if I bend the leg outward to clear the caliper and brake arm it’s going to be around 2 inches out on a very long bolt and due to the dog leg design of the rack legs I’m not sure that I can bend them around behind the caliper.

    Does anyone have any tips for fitting a rack to an Inbred with disc brakes fitted?

    Pack the caliper side out with some old nuts over a long bolt…..


    a BB7 caliper can’t be much bigger than the Magura Julie caliper in the above pictures can it?

    Could be worth a try but the acctuation arm on the BB7 is going to push it out another 3/4″ – 1″ further out than in your picture.
