Wienmann 500 and get a rat tail file and file that slot if needed. Universals come in many lengths also.

Esteemed listmembers,

Need a front brake for a track bike. Universal 68 front is too long. I am pulling my hair out for a solution. From the center of the fork hole to the bottom of the braking surface on the rim is about 43mm. What are my choices. Help Please!!!

Thank You!
