I bought an aventon frame with a brake on it a while ago. Unfortunately it had seized and the nut was rounded so it had to be drilled off.
After discarding the ruined brake I returned home to get a spare old campy one from the shed, feeling very smug that I had saved such a thing for this eventuality. Alas the Aventon uses a lite carbon fork meaning my hoarding was all for naught since the campy brake was for older skinny metal forks (it seems). https://www.aventon.com/products/lite-carbon-fork
Does anyone have any strong opinions on how I should be sure that a new caliper is the right size to go on the fork before I order it? I am aware that mounting bolt lengths etc do vary. I've sent aventon an email but who knows if they'll come back to me.
