GT RTS 1 Rear Brake Query

[mrkawasaki]

My frame has a single stud mid rear brace (so not the squared up rocker style) so I'm thinking it has a Force 40 style gizmo - can anyone confirm with a pic pref...?

Of course if anyone has one for sale please contact...

Was it a custom GT item or do you think I can pick one up NOS from a store or the bay??

Would this do the same thing?
If any good I can bring to the Peaks for you Neil, or post if you want it sooner

Did you found out how it works?
I now have the same problem, bought a frameset and it looks very weird with only the round bolt thing.

It was not a GT widget at all but this one pictured is what I used on my RTS-1 and it was fantastic. Better than the C-dale version IMO. Took a little modification if I remember correctly, had to cut down the single post on the frame a little but it was worth the sweat. Also had to re-route the cables a little so that the brake came down the non-drive side in order to enter the widget at a better angle but it was able to be sorted. Again this was over 12 years ago so please forgive the gaps in memory...
