i purchased a set of sram brakes last week, and realized that my rear brake needs to be a medium-reach. I have a front brake that's medium reach, and i've seen blown-up diagrams showing individual parts of a caliper brake.

My question is, would it be possible to swap the bolt at the center of the caliper so that i can mount the medium-reach on the rear as opposed to the front?

Thanks in advance,

Jim

No need, just have the bolt pook out past the other side of the bridge, use a nylock bolt instead of a recessed nut-like they used to be.
