i have just realised an error in this build.
i am running an ahead stem & steerer.
and i plan on using cantilever brakes.
anyone have anyidea how i will use a canti brake hanger ?
or will i have to run v brakes on the front.
any help with this problem would be appreciated.
many thanks, jeff.

You can get canti hangers that fit in amongst or replace headset spacer(s) or the force-40 style jaspers that bolt into the fork crown.

I'm assuming rigid forks, because it's quite possible a boingy fork would have an integrated brace / hanger thingmy.

i have finally sourced a fork for this build, i've never even heard of this fork before, but doing some research it seems just to be right for this bike.

the fork is a use/pashley rigid fork.

i even sourced a bottom bracket.

looking forward to this build.
