Stuck brake bolt in Colnago Star carbon fork
Posted: Mon Apr 30, 2012 3:53 pm
Hi All,
I have a big problem. I have a Colnago C40HP with a Star fork. This weekend I decided to strip the frame for the first time in 9 years(I should have done it earlier I know!).
The front Dura Ace brake has become seized into the carbon fork. I'm currently trying a variety of methods to get it out and dont care if I destroy the brake in the process. Currently have pepsi sitting in the fork brake hole, hoping to eat into the corrosion. Before that I had GT85 sitting in there overnight and that didnt seem to do anything. Any other ideas?
BUT, worst case scenario, if i do destroy the fork, does anyone have any suggestions for a replacement for 1inch Star fork?
