Just a bought a NOS Reynolds Ouzo fork and have found out that standard recessed caliper nuts don't fit. After some digging online it seems i need an ever so slightly smaller proprietary Reynolds version so just posting this in the hope I don't have to ream out the brake hole!

Was that the one on eBay? I saw that and thought ‘lovely, but the nut is missing’ .. it’s a very thin titanium jobbie. Sometimes listed as a ‘serotta fork nut’

Bingo! In the most improbable of circumstances I had a Serotta frameset in storage I planned to build up in the distant future and there lodged in the fork is the very nut I need!

Still on the look out for another for when I get round to building up my Serotta though so if anyone has any leads let me know!

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
