I've got this old Tange MTB steel fork that has worn out cantilever brake studs. The brakes have all sorts of play in them when mounted on and using them like this doesn't seem like a good idea. Luckily the frame I acquired with the fork has replaceable studs. The fork on the other hand appears to have riveted type studs. The fork is fine, not bent or unusable in any way, so I'd like to keep it. It should be mentioned that this is a project geared towards riding throughout the Buffalo, NY winter... budget is really important because anything I use will get trashed.

All of that being said, what do I do? I'm guessing it isn't a good idea to use them with all of that sloppy play. Is there a way to mount replaceable studs in place of the once riveted like studs? Is it time for a new fork?
