My latest, working on a F300 C-Dale MTB installing a set of Tektro CC canti brakes, I wanted to use the cable routing of a thru stem cable set up that the stem I installed had, but the cable stop on the U stay for the fork was in the way, so I proceeded to remove the U and cut off the factory cable stop. Now it didn't dawn on me what I had done and finished setting up the front brake and put the bike aside ( still not ridden yet ), the following week as I was wheeling the bike out of my shop I grabbed the front brake hard & instead of stopping the forks collapsed & the first thing I thought was wow these are some powerful brakes, then it hit me, you idiot I said aloud & started laughing. Now I need to figure out what model Rock Shox fork I have so I can at least try & find the correct U brace for it, or leave it & put a sticker on the front brake lever saying Pull to Eject.

edit looks like it's a Rock Shox Quadra 5 lol
