Mercier Front Brake
I was wondering if this brake would fit the Mercier in the front?

https://aebike.com/page.cfm?action=de...=30&SKU=BR9005

If it doesn't what is a good cheap front brake that would fit 700c DP18s?

Thanks for answering

i feel those are completely the wrong brakes to use.

kilo has tight clearances, this should do you fine.

Short reach caliper is what you want. The brake you have listed will not work on track frame.

You need the standard reach 47 to 57 brakes.

This is a good deal for a brake for the Mercier:
