I want to run a brake in my giant but the fork is not drilled. I know that drilling a fork is normally a bad idea so i considered buying a new fork. However have come across the same frame/fork drilled for a brake. I would love to keep the same fork as its really nice. Can anyone give me some knowledge on if I should/ how I should ?

Was thinking of paying somebody else to drill it, not my self. Good idea in new fork though but not sure on the avocado.

What's to say they won't fuck it up? It happens. What will you
Do then.. Forkless and sandwichless..

Go get a new fork.

That will be 20 avocados in consultancy fees please.

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.
