Fail to win!
I took my forks to college today, So i could shorten them up a bit (I like tight clearances) and i took the old ends out and mesured up and cut as you do. I later then dry fitted the ends in my forks and put my wheel in and the ends didnt even touch the axle at all, I thought Fuck thats my forks gone:(
So i stared to cut away and file the brake hole out and then cut out a plate to put there a little higher up, filled it with a shed loads of braze. That was my sollution.
Its probably allot weaker now but i dont mind, i like the feel of pavement on my face :)
Heres some pictures:
but not before i get some paint on it
