I'm sure this has been covered, but a discussion from 2005 that veered
off into rolled vs. cut threads was fouling up my google search on the
topic.
Anyways, I have a front brake with recessed mounting hardware that I
need to mount on a frame intended for a nutted brake. When inserted
all the way, about 1/8" of bolt protrudes through the fork crown,
almost enough to put on a nut but not quite, and no room for washers.
Can I simply widen the hole in the rear of the fork crown to fit the
recessed nut? I'll then have to either cut the pivot bolt or add some
washers to the front in order to bring the end of the bolt inside the
fork crown.
If this is the best approach, what size hole does that need to be?
Thanks,
Kyle
