Title: New school brakes
Post by: WINI on September 29, 2013, 10:36 PM
Or rather, front brake. Really fancy having a front again, so what's the stopper of choice if people are using them?

No brakes mounts on my forks, so it would be caliper style. Need to be good clearance too for a 2.3 tyre

probs best off getting some forks with lugs on mark , and run a u brake  :daumenhoch:   i suppose  a Boa is the one to use up front , not sure if one would clear a 2.3 tire though ,


and Nick     2.3    yup     :LolLolLolLol:  although a 2.4 is  the way to go    :LolLolLolLol:  ( apparently )

so what's the stopper of choice if people are using them?

Proper fookin tyres Nick, none of this shopping trolley malarky!

Jim, I know what you mean but was hoping it wouldn't come to that.  Got a Boa on the Standard, and that only just clears my front and I don't think its any more than a 1.95 from memory.... Some experimenting to be done I think

SCIENCE!
