Question:
I have some (carbon) forks that contain a metal insert with threaded hole on the underside of the crown, for attaching a mudguard.
They also have a hole drilled in the crown in the normal place for caliper brakes. The metal insert is long enough so that it's not possible to use this hole, as it's in the way.
I want to attach some Bluemels without drilling them to fix them the underside of the crown ideally- would prefer just to attach them using this bit and the 'normal' hole for caliper brakes:
Has anyone had the same situation as above? Can I just try to screw something into the insert and yank it out, or is there a more nuanced method?
