I've seen it done like this: you take what's supposed to be the front brake and use it at the rear. (This I've actually done.) Then you use the rear brake at the front with one of those extended hex sleeve nuts. Those are something like 22 or 23mm long and are normally used with modern carbon fiber forks that have extended depth crowns: http://www.loosescrews.com/index.cgi?d=single&c=Small%20Parts&sc=Brake&item_id=LS-0051OB&id=47790094001 Regards, Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia
