I want to ride to Brighton on Saturday night, but don't have a fork with a hole. Ooo, err.

I've been considering a clamp-on brake anyway but don't want to splash out until I've tried one, and Saturday is the perfect opportunity. Anyone got one they don't mind lending me? Anyone who knows me knows I'm a thoroughly trustworthy chap n'shit.

Make one!!!

Dead easy.
Here's one we made for a friend. 25mm x 5 mm flat bar mild steel cut down to 2 equal length's and drilled out for break bolt. Use some rubber or neoprene to protect paint work and voilà!

Make look a bit Mad Max but it's well cheep, a quick fix and rock solid.

Go on.......making stuff is good for you!

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.
