View Full Version : Ultegra Brake LDS4 Fork PatM 03-07-2004, 11:05 AM I am converting my ultegra parts over to me new Look 461 and when I went to put the front brakes on the bolt that goes through the fork seems to short. Is there any solution to use the existing brakes ?

Is there any solution to use the existing brakes ? Thanks Pat When I found out that I needed a new bolt, I simply showed the old one to the LBS and got a new one that is at least equally as long. FWIW, I use Campy Centaur and I can't imagine Ultegra parts being any more scarce than Campy parts :-).

Is there any solution to use the existing brakes ? Thanks Pat Pat you need a longer nut. Any LBS should have one. It's very common to require a longer nut on carbon fork like an LOOK Kram 03-09-2004, 03:59 PM www.wisecyclebuys.com (http://www.wisecyclebuys.com) has Ti bolts that fit. Just ask William there-I ran into the same problem. Set me back $8 but I needed it and I needed a new f. derailer anyway (old one had too narrow of a clamp) so I splurged. PatM 03-10-2004, 02:15 AM I ended up finding a long bolt at Lictons, I needed some other stuff anyway(cables etc) so I just placed an order with them. The thing that got me was that I have a CAAD 3 and KHS both with carbon forks and niether one had that problem. Oh well, live and learn |
