Hello all,

I'm building a fixie up for my son. He's ridden mine and loves it. So clean... So low maintenance...

I've got the left over rear brake from building my fixie years ago so I figured I'd just put it on the front of his. The problem is that the bolt that easily fits through the tube on the rear of the frame is not long enough to fit through the front fork of the nice, old Fuji frame that we've got for him.

Think I can just replace that with a longer bolt or is there some sort of functional difference between the front and rear calipers? I'm not looking at them, so I can't tell you the brand, but they are old (more than 20 years) side pull road bike type. They are really nice.

Great to be in the forum.

Ta!

Tony
