Clamp-on brake for undrilled forks?

u don't get it, do you. back 2 hipsterville!

HTFU and ride brakeless, or get Scrapper who is in NY to pick you up a another fork

...no, obviously not.

I was trying to find out whether this would be a good interim solution UNTIL a new fork arrives, but hey, don't let that get in the way of your indecipherable, riotous in-gags.

We are all cunts on here.

...don't get me wrong, indecipherable in-gags can be a riot, just so long as someone explains to me WTF is going on :)

I see nothing wrong with wanting to fit a brake to a bike you want to use on the road.

those who do should HTFU, lose the attitude and just ride and stop being racist FTW

I've got a Dia Compe on my track bike for riding to and from HH. It does the job.

how about, someone not being impatient, send the forks back and wait till they get want they ordered. fuck, not hard.

no in jokes! retards!

:-) it's all good Unbroken1... Dogsballs just has very high aesthetic standards.
I would ask that forummer who is in the US to bring back an SRAM Front drum brake hub - $75.

I nearly bought on of those, but decided a hole in the fork crown was cheaper.

how easy is it to remove/replace those clamp-ons? wheel off job?

I leave the bracket on so it's a 2 minute job. You could have watched on Monday night!

..Ah, OK! it all becomes clear. You are the forum tit, say no more.

i'm not the dick who ordered a 'track' bike and want to ride it with brakes. why not go back to your ridgeback hybrid and roll the streets of east london.

are you sure the BMW "gangsta track" is a track bike? the BB looks a bit low for calshot, and the head angle a bit slack.

do they list the geometry anywhere?

Ride it brakeless and see how you get on would be my suggestion. It's a super stiff bike and will skid pretty easy. It will only take you a couple of days practice to learn the skills to be able to ride brakeless.

If your crap at it then get them to ship the other fork over.

I think that the brake you can fit on the fork with a fitment is a V brake. Fork crown is too high for a road bike caliper brake.

Dogsballs: no, instead you are the forum tit that has declared himself arbiter of who can ride what with what. Why not post in a thread where you can either offer some advice about the topic in hand, or where someone gives a toss about your nonsensical ramblings you baffoon (btw. Holloway, not E London my friend, I'll be sure to keep a look out for you on your clown bike yeah?)

Davey C: Thanks, yes, probably what I'll end up doing. At least I'll have my Ridgeback hybrid to climb back on if I don't get on with it :)

which part of not being lazy and sending the forks back don't you get.

...which part of 'I will get the brake ready forks as and when I can but they are a custom colour and I've been warned they will take ages', 'interim solution' and 'forum tit' do you not get?

If you are planning on getting drilled forks eventually but as you say it will take a long time to exchange these ones, then you should just get a cheapy drilled fork in the meantime (I'm sure that's possible although I know little about BMWs and their components). Clamp-on brakes cost about £50, and if you do intend to exchange these ones eventually then it's not worth the risk of scratching them with a clamp on.

Such a friendly forum...................

fuck off

I only just saw this thread, it's hilarious. I think Dale had sand in his hoohaa that day.

:-)

How do I put gears on my track bike?
