  • Will email Specialized and see what they say. Other than that, how would I find out before attempting to drill it?

    I wish it was that easy in my case but this guy's fork wasn't drilled apparently. There's an image with a Langster fork pre drilled and a Pro fork drilled.

  • Specialized will almost certainly tell you not to and that it will void the warranty, it's in their best interests to do so.

    Either get the pro fork drilled by someone who knows what they're doing - or just buy a bog standard langster fork, which will come pre-drilled.

  • I've emailed them asking whether I can purchase the fork separately if this one I have it's not drilled then covered.

  • Done.

    Thanks to the guys that took the time to advise me to get another fork.

    I did consider it but a new fork would have been around £100, not exactly a matching colour/design, and I already spent too much on this bike.

    Plus, I personally don't think is that big of a deal. I definitely understand why are they not meant for street/brakes but others have done it and whilst I've seen a few people advising against drilling a fork, I yet have to see someone that'll say 'my fork broke whilst riding my bike'.

    That being said, as @finger_jockey mentioned, this wasn't really a proper carbon fork as the crown and the dropouts are aluminium, just the legs are carbon.
