I must be having a stupid moment - I'm still not getting it. There's a brace on the forks (well actually 2 - but just say there was one) why would you need another in front of the cantis? Especially given there's 2 on the forks already.Jussa":1zxjkdnl said:Im guessing (And may be wrong) but the Orange Brace (Brake Booster) is there to brace the Canti Brakes & Brake Mounts, similar to if it was fitted to Rigid Forks, The PACE forks, by virtue of it being double Braced gives the owner the option of Front or Rear facing Cantis or V's. Although some PACE only come with one Brace, My RC38's have one Front Fitted Brace, but rearward mounted Brake Mounts, whilst my RC35's have a Rearward facing Brace and rearward mounts.Neil":1zxjkdnl said:Putting aside everything else...

The brake booster is there to bolster the fork legs (or seat stays at the back) from flexing when braking, isn't it? So if the fork is already braced - or so good they braced it twice, what's the point of putting another one in front of the cantis?
Could the brake bosses flex that much, if the fork legs are braced with one (or 2 in this example) brace(s)?
