V brake bosses on Front Fork

Coolnick

Juts got some new Shimano disc brakes fitted on my bike today and they took off the v brake bosses from the MX pro fork. I think it looks a little untidy without them as you can see the screw socket in all its metal glory. Are there any caps to plug them up with or would you refit the v brake bosses back on anyway. OR......am I just being bloody picky ha ha? Thoughts please!

nicklouse

yes there are plugs available.

evans do v brake boss plugs that you screw in. Either that or you can get the Hope plugs , 1 of which has a cable router for your disc cable.

Nice one, thanks for links. Will get some of those asap I think, as looks crap, especially at rear of bike frame where rear v brakes were housed! Like the idea of hope ones, will do a google later!

Found the Hope ones with hose guides. Anyone know if it's 8 or 10mm I need for MX Pro forks. I'm at work and might try buying some online today.
