hi mackenzie
hubjub have some at 45 pounds but i don't know if they are out of stock. i bought mine from them. i am going to pick my bike up at keith and he says that he couldn't put the brake on mine. i may want to sell it. my forks are oval and so the clamp.

yea the clamp on brakes dont fit all forks, i remember on mine the top of the brake had like a screw sticking out which slightly touched the bottom of my headset which meant that it rubbed and wouldn't work, i dont quite remember how i fixed it but lots of fiddling around usually works

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

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
