I have a Specialized Sirrus with the original Specialized C1 carbon fork. The bike came with Spec. V-brakes but I would like to replace them with some XTR V-brakes or similar. The rear of the bike has standard type V-brake bosses however the front carbon fork has threaded inserts only. Is there such a thing as a screw in boss or adaptor?
