Fork Columbus Hiver brake reach?
I have got a Columpus Hiver carbon fork for my new project.
The dimensions from the rims of the wheels are:
-Lower edge of brake hole to top of rim: 48mm
-Mid brake hole to top of rim: 51
-center of brake hole to center of rim 57
What type of brakes should I buy, normal 39-49mm or long 47-57mm reach?

I'd say from that description long drop up to 57mm
ETA this from Brick Lane Bikes description of the fork:
"Dropout-to-crown distance is 377mm to be able to fit mudguards, so long reach brakes should be used."0 -

I used that fork on a custom build. You'll definitely want long drops. The best quality ones I've found are TRP RG957, although the cheaper Tektro and Shimano non-series long drops work OK. Good pads help.0
