So i've got it all built up with new forks. blb freestyle things and some large tyres. Its proving to serve me well for my commute everyday however I am wondering if anyone can see a way I can get a front brake onto these forks as there is an epic drop at the front. basically 700 rim in a 29'er fork I believe.
Not seen any "long drop" calipers that will reach that far if i drilled out the front of the fork.
Wondered if perhaps a bmx 990 style brake plate with a u brake might suit my needs? Or bolt on v brake lugs that dont cost the earth?
