Braze-ons: What You Need to Know | Bicycle Framebuilding

Brake mounts, cable guides, cable stops, rack mounts—these are all different kinds of braze-ons. Although some bicycle framebuilders design and fabricate their own braze-ons, it's most common to buy them from suppliers (see a list below) and then braze or weld them right onto your frames. In this video I just give a practical overview of different kinds of braze-ons, what to look for, and what options are available for how you handle this part of the bicycle as a custom framebuilder.

Here are my braze-on clamps, available in a 3-pack or individually: https://cobraframes.net/store/braze-o...
