I've recently bought an dolan with a track frame, but i want to drill it to put a front brake,

today i was suposed to take the fork to someone who drill it for me, but i checked that , inside the fork, there is an "screw",

for what reason?

I think the fork is drilled already, and then filled and painted. if you drill it anyway, you can then remove the screw.

Colnago Master Pista fork - enough height in the fork crown to drill?

Photos don't suggest that there is and I don't want to buy it if I can't then drill the fork. Don't want to die just yet...

I have a track carbon fork too, and also I wanted to drill it because I saw the screw inside but all carbon forks have that screw in for support and it's not recommended that you drill it, you'll mess up the integrity and the brake won't fit in good.

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

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

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