problem fitting brake calipers
OK, this is about my first foray into (relatively) modern bike builds.
I am trying to rebuild a very nice Pinarello Prince (aluminum main frame, carbon stays and fork) with 9S 25th anniversary Dura Ace.
I am stumped on the brake calipers.
the rear brake mount measures 35mm.
the front brake mount measures 47mm.
The brake calipers, as they are, do not fit these mounts. I can fit one, on either the front or the rear (thanks to the one long bolt I have), but no combination of brake post and bolt fits the other.
is there a special longer brake bolt for these fat carbon forks, like the singleton I have in the picture?
