Current Projects chat and miscellany

Mainly getting cantilevers setup with enough power to stop promptly whilst riding on road (modulation's more important when racing off-road) whilst also avoiding the aforementioned brake judder (caused by flex in the fork effectively increasing the brake cable length, pads release from rim, fork flexes back, brakes grip and repeat). It's more of an issue on larger frames with a longer brake cable drop.

General advice is to toe-in brakes (helped a little) and use a fork mounted hanger (didn't try).

Thanks! This is exactly what's happening with the new Concorde frame I have which is Columbus EL. The forks are visibly flexy, and I get this judder which you describe. I'll maybe toe in the brakes.
