10mm, Dirty??  That is HUGE by bicycle brake standards.  You know I am old school, and I don't EVER remember of anything like that.  Of course, the newest thing I've got is '83, so maybe that came out after I was done. neutral

Re: {{Drill Your Frame}}

Dirty Habits, I switched out the guts with the old style small-bolt.  It's a pain in the ass but it will keep you from drilling...forks don't seem that crucial but it could be baaaaad news if you try it on the rear, unless your brake stay has enough meat.

Re: {{Drill Your Frame}}

I don't know if they have a proper part name...they're those little L-clips that rest against the stays and/or fork arms.

I wouldn't do it! The brake bridge looks to small for a 10mm hole.

Re: {{Drill Your Frame}}

i dont really get the point of having a 3/8ths axle for a brake bolt. i guess its less flex, but does flex really bother anyone?
