Current Projects chat and miscellany

Problem, i was fitting a brake on the Vivalo so i can do some club/charity rides, but it rubs on the headset slightly, i guess just filing the bolt down is my only option? i'll try higher it and dropping the pads down, but not sure it will be enough

ill put some pvc tape over those clamps...

Why don't you get something like This?

Well, i do, it's a bit of a dilemma though, i got a Brother Steel track which would do the job quite well actually, but its a great commuter to, real solid and ideal bike to nip around town on, but id also have to change half the parts on it to, the Vivalo is lighter and probably stiffer, already have lighter wheels, spd's, bottle cage etc, so i can just stick a front brake on that and its safe to ride along with some roadies.

You get me?

Not really, just put brakes on the Brother and ride it as it is, you don't need to change* "half the parts"* on it just to make it suitable, you're not TM.

If you can't keep up, it's just mean you need to get fitter, not a faster bike.
