Hi all. I'm working on a conversion and I need a front brake and lever for it.
As always I am on a tight budget for this project, and the frame is not worth putting alot of money into. I just need something that will get me stopped.
As far as I can figure I need a brake with about 70mm of reach. (replacing the 27's with 700c)... (stretched the fork to hold a 700c front wheel off my other bike and measured center of hole to center of break surface)
I am also looking for a cross type lever.
I was originally looking at this...

... however I don't think it has the reach I need.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I was hoping to get through this build without asking any stupid questions that can be answered with a quick search, but I didn't find anything.
