Installation Notes
The cantilever brake boss is typicallyĀ TIG welded or brazedĀ into the frame at the designated mounting position.
Important considerations:
-
Mitering required:Ā The boss must be mitered (angled) to match the seatstay or fork leg geometry for proper fit and a clean weld joint
-
Ensure proper alignment before welding ā brake bosses must be parallel and positioned correctly for proper brake function
-
Use appropriate heat control to maintain material properties
-
Post-weld cleaning recommended for cosmetic finish
