[#899793]

came with linear pull 'v' brakes.
can't get my guards to clear the linear brake.
specialized have sent some canti's as an apology, but has anyone out there managed to fit guards to a 'v' braked tricross and how ?

tia.

The tektrs where an odd shape and seemed to lose power especially in the wet XT makes a big difference

My rear went on okay but I had to make a little plate with two holes in to drop the front one low enough to get under the brake cabel. Bonty guards by the way.
