I am thinking ill run nutted brakes. I have a set of centerpull nutted Mafac Racers that might use since i have them laying around. To fill the front hole so i can "convert" to nutted i suspect i could take a recessed nut and drill it out so that a standard nutted shaft goes through it and use it as a shank washer to fill the void allowing me to run nutted brakes.
