Ha! I hadn't used heliocoils in so long that I had forgotten about them! I'll give that a go, I hadn't really fooled with it at all yet.
I believe the fork is indeed a 1 1/8.
Has anyone else gone from canti's to disk on their front end? I was going to go with road BB7's. I've always felt that I would like a bit more braking power and confidence.
Thanks for the info!
