Hi
Just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of where to get hold of the bridge for a Tektro centre pull brake,

I can't see one at SJS Cycles, but I'd ask them anyway:

Thanks for the quick replies I was searching using "bridge" hence my difficulty finding it.

I hadn't removed the brake cable in years and the light alloy turned to toffee when I tried to loosen the screw, should have soaked it first!!

Cheers
Robert

Just a word of caution if that's your bike in the picture. The straddle wire isn't correctly seated in the cable hanger. It should sit below the two 2.5mm allen screws and you should back off the allen screws to achieve this. Once you're satisfied that the brake is correctly adjusted, including even spring tension on both brake arms, apply the brake firmly a couple of times to centre the cable hanger then lightly nip up the allen screws to trap the straddle cable.

Any yoke will do really. Dia-Compe make reassuringly expensive roller ones, or you could pay silly money for a 1990s Ringlé Mojo.

Or £2 for a normal steel one.

Or use 3 links from a scrap chain and make your own for free. :wink:
