• Can anyone tell me what these small threaded holes on the fork dropouts are for? The rear dropouts have standard size threaded holes that look like mudguard attachment points, but I've never seen ones like these on the forks:

  • Are they for sort of protective plates to stop the paint in the dropouts getting scuffed?

    My Cannondale 2.8 has them on the rear, with a one-bolt plate, but the fork might not be stock so I'm not sure it has them.

  • I've no idea, doesn't seem to mention them in the brochures, my rear dropouts have one threaded hole on either side, I presumed they were for mudguards.. Can I see a pic of your rear?
