Bontrager Speed Stop Brakes

[csteenbe]

Can they be fitted on other brands then Trek bikes, maybe want to fit them on a De Rosa King XS.

Anyone?

Thanks.

The front should fit just fine (they use the direct mount standard), however I'm not sure about the bottom bracket mounting brake, I would imagine something would get in the way hence why the shimano direct mount callipers have a more central pull design at the BB.

On something like a canyon aeroad where the rear brake is on the seatstay bridge I'm 99% sure they would both fit.

I think this will not be the problem, if it can be bolted and the brake shoes are possible to adjust that they will fit the rim I think it will fit.

I hoped somebody had fitted them on a other bike then a Trek....

Are you talking about the Emonda brakes? They're both built around the direct-mount standard, so you should be fine.

I was informed by a dealer that these brakes are not compatible with the Trek Madone 7 chain stay mount. Don't know why, but it might be a similar problem on the DeRosa.

Check out the FSA direct mount brakes, I'm very happy with mine. Not the lightest, but not a fortune and the clearance all around is excellent

Yes I am talking about the Emonda brakes....

Come to think of it, the Speedstop brakes are not compatible with the front Madone 7 either because the head tube "nosecone" protrudes into the brake's space.
