Hey outlaw, I will be making some changes to my setup since your story of breakage. I will still be tempting fate with my rockshox front end But I will be beefing it up significantly. I will keep you updated as to anything that happens. I wanna say thanks for your input with my threads and having my safety in mind. Your a good man sir, I like the plate on the front end idea here for the brake. If I were going to use a pull brake still I would do something similar but I'm going to disc.
