Any reason I couldn't bolt these onto an un-drilled track fork and set up a cantilever front brake? I'm running a clamp on Dia Compe caliper brake at the moment but surely this could be a more elegant solution?

You'll need a cable hanger too. The only potential problem I can see with these is whether the clamps will fit the diameter of your forks.

Do your forks have round blades?

They're not designed with braking in mind, so you might consider buying road forks.

Good point, I doubt they would be too small so I was thinking I'd shim them if they're too wide. would this work?

Yeah they have round blades but feel plenty strong enough, haven't encountered any problems so far and I haven't ever had problems running a brake on track forks in the past.

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

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
