I bought a 'new' 2008 Giant Omnium track frame on Ebay and want to fit a front brake.
Frame like this... http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/giant-tcr-omnium-item113786.html
I've got a new Dia Comp BRS100 front brake but the bolt isn't long enough to go through the fat forks and the allen-key style rear fixing isn't compatible with my fork anyways. It just has a basic hole drilled through, rather than a wider one at the back for the allen key bolt.
So... anyone got any advice on what I do now?
1) Just get a different brake that fits straight it. How do I guarantee the bolt will be long enough as they don't specify in brake info/stats.
2) Drill out the back of the fork. Brrrr! Rather not.
3) Any ideas what will fit, brands / style etc. Looking at about £20 for the brake I guess.
Any help gratefully received!
