Is there a way to put a break on the front tire? Also, is the sizing for track bikes similar to road bikes? Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Question for Tom Kellog on Track Bike [Re: Traveler] #5640 - 04/06/05 03:13 PM (4.238.251.137) Edit Reply Quote Traveler: The answer of course is; maybe. Most of our track bikes have very tight clearances unless the original customer asked for extra room. Because of this, it is impossible to drill out one of our track forks with enough brake clearance. Having said that though, there may be a good solution for you. Because most track bikes have very agressive geometry, using a longer fork will give you a slightly lower head angle. So, If you get a good road fork with the appropriate rake you should be fine. We measure all of our frames from center to top, so a 57 track bike is the same size as a 57 road bike. Take care. -------------------- Tom Kellogg Spectrum Cycles 610-398-1986 http://spectrum-cycles.com/ Post Extras: Pages: 1
