  • Trying to put a front brake on a tight steel track fork but the tyre is hitting the underside of the caliper. I want to keep using 23mm tyres if I can.

    Any suggestions for a short-reach caliper with lots of space underneath for the tyre?
    Already tried an old 105 single-pivot to no avail.

  • TriRig Omega has a fixed distance from body to brake blocks and the whole brake slides up and down on the pivot bolt to adjust the reach. Campag Delta, Shimano BR-7300 etc. do too, but the TriRig is available and takes normal pads. Might solve your problem, although a new fork would probably be cheaper.

  • Cheers, some interesting options. Wanting to keep the original fork and (hard to tell just by looking) not sure that the Tririg would be slender enough even on the lowest setting.
    Beginning to think that a 20mm tyre is the way forward. Or a clamp-on brake.

    Or a single pivot 105 with the underside destroyed by bad filing.
