U brake plates

They are kind of a head ache to get dialed in. The main issue is getting it tight enough while keeping the plate centered. I used two bolts instead of the one they provide. I also used lock tight. Once I got it on, it never shifted or got loose. For $12 it was worth a try. Eventually I up graded to AND 23mm 990 forks.

Heres what my bike looked like with one on

use hose clamps to keep it steady. or spend $40 on these http://www.ebay.com/itm/Redline-Rise-Forks-with-990-Mounts-20-inch-BMX-black-/331465410002?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d2ce0c5d2

You could look into the Deco FuFork, it has REMOVEABLE BRAKE MOUNTS.

Then you can rock em any time you want.

Just don't expect to be uber-good at front wheel stuff. It takes muscles you don't normally use, and it is super hard to get good at.

I'm looking into less costly alternatives to buying new forks. I'm just trying front brakes and dont wanna end up sitting on a 990 set waiting for them to sell if i dont like front brakes. The removeable part is cool but not a factor in my decision

Try em. You tell us.

Find a fork on Craigslist/ebay for cheap, or even just a cheapy walmart bike fork that maybe your buddy's lil bro has just to check them out, and if you like em, get a new fork?

The plates work ok from what I have seen. Just make sure they are on tight.

24.99 + 14.99 shipping.

Some reasonable options price-wise.

33 bucks shipped for the one is only about 23 more than the brake plate. The redline fork is a "make offer" setup, you could offer like 20 bucks and see what happens.

Does your current fork have the hole at the crown for the plate to bolt to? If not, you will need a fork to make it work.

1, No i dont have a hole in the crown. I have ody r32s

2. How did you get all those results? I typed "990 bmx fork" on ebay and all I got was the recons and some and33s for 100$. I will look into all those others too

If you don't have that hole, you might not be able to make the plate work, or you could drill a hole in the fork...but I would talk to Odyssey about that.

I typed BMX fork, and looked for the ones with 990s.
