; so the force acting on the crown race on the fork is the same irrespective of whether the brake is mounted at the top of the fork or near the hub.
Is it? Gut feeling would be that this is incorrect. Need to calc it out.

That’s what I thought - the advice about boost threw me - and then I’ve just found that boost is indeed a road frame thing …Road... That's why it's in the road section![]()
There are modern standards that I need some help with, hoping someone can maybe clear things up!
Forks - What's the standard steerer size nowadays? Is 1 1/8" still widely used and available? What about tapered steerers?
Mech hangers - i don't really like SRAM, but must admit that the UDH standard looks pretty good. But will an older (7/8/9 speed) rear mech fit and work with UDH?
Seattube diameter - thinking front mech clamps, I think we had 28.6, 31.8, 34.something? Are they still the same, or is there a newer one?
BB - T47 looks like a good idea, I have avoided anything other than BSA/ITA threaded until now, but T47 seems to be an improvement, possibly?
Anything else I should know about? This would be for a rim brake frame, so don't mention discs...
