front brake for undrilled fork?
 

is there an front keirin brake? i saw one on tomity's page, but haven't seem one anywhere for purchase. i dont want one right now, i'm just curious.

They exist.
They clamp on to the fork arms.

any idea who makes them?

diacomp maybe?

i have been trying to find the link to this darn thing here. if anyone has it, please post it. i'm curious how it works.

They are pretty fugly actually. You are probably better off just getting a track fork with 38mm rake that is drilled for a brake. They are around and cost less than that junk. Unless you really are just using the brake for short trips, say to the track and back, I'd say get a drilled fork.

i would only have a front brake on when doing long trips, centuries or more outta the city, which is a small part of my riding. i'd rather go with an undrilled fork (being custom built) since 90% of the time it wouldn't have a brake on it and drilled forks with no brakes look inelegant to me.

I'd bet you could buy a 2nd drilled fork for cheaper than one of those clamp-on brakes cost.

I would go with no brake holes. Have a 2nd bike for longer rides/trips. Is this gonna be a track machine or street machine?

That's totally understandable.

Anyway any EAI distributor can probably get you this one:

good luck

EDIT: wait, that's only the rear brake. hmm. I guess that explains the gold nagasawa...

yeah, the rears seem easy enough to find, but i'd like a front if possible to cut down on cable mess.

street machine - the circle a.

They're called, new front fork drilled for brake

I would go w/ drilled then for the front. You got one brakeless (hole) machine then. Plus, aren't you planning on running horns???
