CroTrials Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hey m8s,I ride a echo urban fork with a bb7 front brake on my inspired.I have problem with my brake tube when i do tailspins. Because i can't get my brake tube through the steerer (cause my echo fork has thicker edges and a small „star“(the thing in which you screw your bolt in from the top of the stem, sry for my vocabulary)) I have to use a long front brake tube so that it can go around one circle when i do a tailspin. But the problem is that my brake tube cant handle it no matter how long it is, and the metal cap on the top of the tube gets drilled by the metal part of the tube and the brake becomes useless. Has anyone been in this situation before? Is there a way to get the brake tube through the steerer no matter the narrow steerer hole? I would be very grateful for any advice, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cai Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Drill a hole in through a spacer, and through the fork - then thread it through the hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
