Rod brake blocks ordered from cyclesofyesteryear (they sell the bikes still with rod brakes but they have taken my money and not delivered)
Cycle service had rod brakes in stock but they were longer and too shallow to make contact with the rim
Hannah after a photo which I have taken but also taken the block off as that was easy enough
Query, tried inflating the tyres, they are Brompton size with schrader valves. They will inflate but the second I remove the pump they deflate. I have tried two different pumps and two different wheels. Any suggestions?
