Is this true?
I doubt it. Your clearance under the crown is short, but the brake hole is quite a long way from that. Very likely that a standard brake (like the BR-4700) will fit, although if you're shopping at CRC the 5800 is well worth the extra £2.50

This is a dumb question but I need to make a change to my current whip. I'm going to change from 48/15 to 48/14 and razzing around brklzz is going to be taking the piss. I want to start filming my rides too in case I have a run in with a driver so having a visible brake is a no brainer.
In advance of a long charity ride a few years back I asked a LBS to install a front brake and they said the drop was too short and I couldn't fit one. Is this true? I wouldn't have thought the fork would be drilled in the first place if that was the case. Feels silly to ask but brakes are the one bit of componentry I don't encounter.
