hello,
i'm not sure what to do and what my options are, but i'm having trouble installing my front brake caliper onto my fork. the fork is a cannondale carbon fork with carbon steerer for a '10 CAAD9-5 and the brake caliper is a SRAM Rival.
the problem is that the 'bolt' that screws to the back of the caliper has a head that is too thick for the hole. the skinny part of the 'nut' fits fine, but the head is too wide, but the 'nut' is not long enough to catch enough threads. i also have a specialized tarmac and the hole on that fork is large enough.
there are only two options from what i can tell:
1) have a shop drill out the hole to be a little larger. this seems like it's not a good option; i don't want to ruin the integrity of the fork.
2) find another 'nut' that will be compatible for the caliper; perhaps a longer 'nut'. i'm not sure if they make them or where i could find them.
i thought i'd ask you all since i'm a n00b. i've posted some pictures for reference.
thanks,
Jason
