fork legs were just straight round tubes (dh fork?) about 1" diameter.
could not attach lowriders to the lower dropout eyelets.
just a metal band (DIY stainless p-clamp) at the bottom, u-bolt at top.
only friction to prevent movement in the case of major shock.
just one fixed mounting point would have made a difference.
later transferred to fork with useable lower eyelets.....kept the brace
cause it couldn't hurt and only weighs about an ounce.
