The original Raleigh forks were certainly not designed for drum brakes, and the compressionless brake cable outers probably finished the forks off. Who'd have thunk it that the slight give in the coil brake cable outers actually provided a tiny amount of brake modulation?~Mad Marty~https://www.blogger.com/profile/11177399718292541570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1318315606520498015.post-78499945123300260662014-06-03T00:54:31.582+01:002014-06-03T00:54:31.582+01:00Hey, if you read part two you can see which fork I...Hey, if you read part two you can see which fork I chose. I ended up breaking my frame as well due to using compressionless housing with the 90mm drum brake as well: http://smutpedaller.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/an-unfortunate-end.html<br /><br />Although I suspect this may have also been because the frames Raleigh made in that era were a little lacking in build quality, I was surprised how easy it was to break apart the brazing on the original forks. But yes, I would definitely recommend trying to find a drum specific fork, if you can. The one I got was from http://www.dutchbikebits.com/ The funny thing was that the fork was perfectly fine for a few years, it was only when I fitted compressionless housing I was able to brake really quite hard and that was enough to stress out the fork.

I've been watching you and your blog ...Oh shit! I've been watching you and your blog since almost it was made,but didn't expected this to happen! Problem is, I just recently got a 90mm drum brake hub too and was thinking about laceing it into a 28/622 wheel too!The bicycle to wich I intent to mount it is a 1980's CILO road bike wich was intended for "normal brakes"...<br />Could the fork end up like yours?! Now you got me thinking even more, maybe I SHOULD change the fork too , must be a tradeoff when a cyclist wants almost maintenance free brakes+ good stopping power almost disc brake capabilities! Keep adding information on your drum brakes ,it's very usefull for many cyclists!
