Floating Airheart Brake Calipers

Paul Motz · 07-03-2014, 03:10 PM

Just purchased an older T-Bucket and want to replace the Airheart brakes. How do you let the caliper's "float"? They are currently just bolted down.

Many thanks.

If the caliper has a long pin type bolt, with threads just at the head end, they are floaters. It allows the caliper to move with pad wear.
