Suitable V-brake arm length for newer, longer Bombadil fork

[Tom Harrop]

Hi everyone,

I got fed up of the CR-720s on my Bombadil (late 2011, with the new fork crown with extra clearance and long fork blades), so I decided to try V-brakes instead. I was concerned that the Nitto Mini rack would interfere with the cable at the fork crown. I thought I'd post here in case anyone is searching in The Future: The cable for Shimano V-brakes with 107 mm arms passes under the hole in the fork crown, and therefore coexists in harmony with the rack strut.

Picture here.

Enjoy the rest of your weekends,

Tom, in rainy Germany.
