A mate sent me this pic of me on my 1989 Kona Explosif, which I crashed and sadly bent the frame! But this also shows the first incarnation of my Pace forks, which I bought as RC30s and later upgraded to RC35s. It also has Magura Hydrostops, and the first big barrel gripshift with the thin cork wrapping that didnt work in the wet! I did like to try all the new kit back then.

Re:

Quality!

The PACE RC35s are back from a rebuild and on the bike, but I have an issue!
Where the brakes mount onto the forks I dont have the little disk with the hole in for the caliper spring peg thingy to go into. Can you buy them, or shall I just make them from a drilled shaped washer?

Anyway here's some pics of the forks and frame back together like they were in 92.

Might be worth putting a wanted ad out.... and hope someone’s got a trashed set to rob

Are you using V brake levers for canti’s ? Should offer you a bit extras leverage

There are a few canti brakes that dont use the hole, Dia compe brakes for one

Could be useful?

Great Dogsbolx and images of its previous outings also! Always on the need to be ridden list for me.

Mike.

Great to chat on Monday dude. Think a retro day at KORC is needed but get them brake things sorted first. I’ve drilled washer before and it works.

Re:

Yeah, you too Chris.

I will try the washer thing and report back!

 

[Soggster]

Problem sorted. I cut a thin notch into a washer and thread locked it when I nipped it up. works like a charm.
