drilled the front forks on two bikes and got two brake sets. was going to put the front brake on the back and rear brake on the front. bought a longer recessed nut to test and even so only about 4 threads are engaged, and thats without any washers. this does not inspire confidence. i want to resolve this as cheaply as possible. i could buy a right angle bit and drill the rear bridge, though there isnt much material going spare there, or i could harvest the front pivot bolts from some old unwanted brakes people might have lying about.

so if you have anything suitable please let me know. not sure if brands vary but shimano/tektro type will definitely fit.

thanks

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
