On-One Canti Fork Bosses

[not_fat_matt]

Anyone run a set of the On-one rigid Cro-mo forks?

Just picked up a set of the older style with bolt on mounts, and the posts are too wide to mount my v-brakes on, ones on my frame measure about 80mm, these measure about 96mm, they look exactly like the ones that bolt to the frame on on-ones sites, are there different types?

I have a set on one of my bikes and they are fine. I've had Deore and XT V's on them no problem at all. I've got another unused set that seem the exact same size.

This is a stupid question, but they look offset - are you sure you've mounted the correct way up?

Cheers for the replys guys, took the mount off and checked, there is no handed offset to them, something that does look odd is the pointy bit of the mount seems to dig into the fork making the post sit out at a slight angle, took a pic but its a bit crappy. Might do a bit of grinding, see if i can get them to sit better.

Also took a pic of the brakes mocked up (clamped to the rim) on a set of Kinesis (80mm post centers) and the on-ones (96mm centers), there is a difference (again, crappy pics) but it looks like it should work all the same.

Typical me, worrying about nowt!

The On-One forks do result in V's sitting a bit too "upright" for my taste. And the manufacturing quality isn't the best, I had to send my first pair back as the threaded holes in the fork were in different places on the two legs. They didn't seem too surprised when I phoned them and changed them without a quibble.

which positions do you have the pad spacers in?

They are between the lever arm and the pad, so are spaced in as far as they can go, if that makes sense.
