Anyone know. They don't come with the brakes and I need a set for a frame and a set for a fork (M8 and M10 fine). I think. Can't find them anywhere.

    fork depends on the fork as there are many available. for the frame LBS would be your best bet and take some out of an old frame.

    Cheesy that is similar to the "standard" fork boss.

    Yeah I know.

    There seems to be loads for sale on US websites but none in the UK. I'll try the LBS at the weekend. I could kick myself as I wrecked a pair a few weeks ago thinking I'd never need them again and now I do. :x :oops: :x

    LBS would be best bet - they have access to suppliers that the average person doesn't.

    I spent ages a long time ago looking for canti bosses for an old Trek that threaded rather badly.

    Walked into LBS and he pulled open a drawer and had hundreds of em! :wink:
