Brakes on BombShell front forks?
I have the bombshell carbon fiber shrike forks and want to tweek this racing BMX inta a racer/freestyler bike. Is it possible to put front brakes on these forks by drilling the chromomoly in the middle...or another method???

carbon fiber forks aren't really built to handle that much abuse. and drilling them (unless they have an aluminum or other metal crown) would be very bad, because you'd end up breaking the fibers and then the fork would go ssssssnnnnnnnnAP! you'd better off just getting a good chromoly fork if you're going to be doing any sort of "freestyle" riding.
