  • thanks,
    with the rear, could I just enlarge the rear brake hole on the frame and then put in a recessed nut?
    sorry for newbish questions

  • Difficult to drill the rear, as the seat tube gets in the way.

    Easier to mount a second front brake, backwards; ie on the front of the brake bridge, facing the "wrong" way.

    More info here (scroll down to "Mounting recessed-mounting calipers on older frames".

  • Talking drilling:

    Just mounted 25s on the HED and now I have to get more clearance for the mudguard. There is space under the fork. Do I drill or file?
