Fork swap ?
I have a 2012 Fuji hybrid bike and i'm trying to change the fork. The bike has v brakes. Will a cantilever fork work with my brake setup?
Thanks

From: dusk 'til dawn.

Bikes: everywhere

The mounts for Cantis and V-brakes are generally the same. You should be able to mount your V brake to most forks with canti studs no problemo.

Bikes: I never learned to ride a bike. It is my deepest shame.

If that is indeed what you are asking, yes V brakes will work on any fork that is designed for cantilever brakes... although many forks designed for V brakes will not work with cantis.
