Has anyone had any trouble running U brakes and the brake arms touching the seat tube? I'm worried I've bought brakes that were designed for too much tyre clearance and because of how compact everything is on the Capital the brake arms won't be able to move enough.

If anyone is interested, I just got brake pads with spacers and a longer bolt.

Found a way to confirm the 14" Beer im in poland without anything to measure with lol. Was trying to compare to the party master and the cap is way tighter

@BSal i was under the impression 16' was the only 22"tt and then they stopped doing 24

I had a 2012 Cap 26 and loved it. I kick myself every single day for getting rid of it.

It did everything except allow me to get the seat up high enough to cruise it. I rode street, sk8prk and even raced BMX with it. It felt light and nimble, but strong as hell. If you get one you will most def have a good bike, so don't be dumb, like me, and get rid of it.

Anyone have any luck running chain tugs on a Capital? I just tried some DMR tugs but the dropouts are too thick and the hub gets in the way too.
