Jon,

That's using the old noggin. That operation (using a belt sander instead of a file) might take all of 4 or 5 minutes. Also costs zero cents each and saves a trip (and gas) to the hardware store.

hello,

recently purchased a condor frame and fork that someone drilled to take

recessed-mount brakes.

does anyone know of an off-the-shelf bushing to take up the slack betwee n

the brake bolt and the enlarged hole so i can use nutted brakes on this

frame?

or is there some other way of dealing with this?

thanks, randy dugan

Just take the recessed brake nut, drill the threads out so a nutted brak e

post can pass through it, then file down the head so it's flush with the

fork crown/bridge.
