Just bought a bike. Need to run a brake for my crusty old knees.

Would like to swap/px these undrilled ones for similar but drilled.

Looking for a straight swap. Would add cash if necessary. Straight forks. Alpina would be grand.

Frame size is 54 for an idea on steerer length.

Have you though of getting them drilled for a brake ?

Its usually pretty quick and easily done on the Dolan / Alpina forks .

Hmmm. Yeah, not a bad shout I suppose. The crown is alu isn't it.

Crown and steerer are aluminium, if you have access to a pillar drill and a HSS or cobalt bits its a 10 min job.

If you have a decent LBS they can do it, I would take a tenner, your milage may differ !

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

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

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