From: La La Land (We love it!)

Bikes: Gilmour road, Curtlo road; both steel (of course)

Epoxy is NOT strong enough to do this job, period. There is not enough contact area involved and one good lateral bump on the caliper will pop the mount off.

Brazing or welding will be fine. I did not notice if you have a suspension fork; if you do disassemble the left side before applying heat or you will ruin the seals.

Other than that, measure carefully, clamp securely & knock yourself out.
