I found clamp on brake bosses for rigid forks in the fixed gear forum ... I thought cx'ers would be interested too:

Or how about a BMX accessory with brake bosses that mounts to center holes:

What's your opinion on using these? Would these be strong/stable enough for basic purpose?

the bmx thing has been brought up before and no ones reported of using it. the pic of the fixedgeargallery bike is using a pace fork----pace makes these especially for their forks so you can make them v/canti if you dont want disc, i dont think the clamp on v/canti work on anything but pace forks though. i mean i guess you could try, but upgrading the front of a bike to canti's isnt so hard (just a new fork) the rear is where the trick is, and the only thing shy of welding on ur own canti bosses is to try that bmx accessory by big cheese.
thats my take on it at least
