Been trying to figure out how to install U-brakes on the front for my All City Dropout. I got 2 of these:
https://shop.odysseybmx.com/collections/odyssey-braking/products/springfield-brake-kit
and was looking at this adapter:
https://www.sourcebmx.com/products/odyssey-front-brake-springfield-adaptor
but it's sold out and haven't found any other retailers.
I tried an EVO 2.5 front brake adaptor but that's too wide and doesn't fit the arms.
Any tips if there's a well-functioning bootleg way to make it work as a frontbrake? Would a steerer-mounted canti hanger like this work?
Also happy to hear alternatives what I could mount, long-drop dual pivot doesn't work, there's no brakehole, so has to be U-brakes.
