aaaghhhhh suelo brakes

yo Alex did you have any problems with your front suelo(flybikes) brake? coz mine fowls the forks really badly, ive got round it by spacing it with shimes and washers (but not an idea solution as it creates play) I run odyssey forks maybe thats the problem, the only other way I can see round it is to get the brass sleave machined down 1 1/2mm or so.....

    They told me that they are made to be real close to the forks for foot clearance. The brake comes with lug extenders to use if it hits. Did you get the extender spacers? I havent fitted my one yet as I dont have any forks for them. The forks I use have canti mounts (Ive used a canti front brake for about 15 years) and Im trying to get some XLT Pitchforks with 990 mounts.

    it fouls the forks by the steerer tube fork leg junction.... I don't think I got lug extenders but I'm looking just to make sure
