FRAME BRAKE DROP ?

Recently the board software has been updated and there are some known bugs/failures:
- ~~Avatars are currently not being displayed~~ ✔ FIXED
- ~~Tapatalk connection is currently broken~~ ✔ FIXED
- ~~Avatars cannot be uploaded~~ ✔ FIXED

Please note that we will soon do some changes in WW board template design in case to get a fully mobile/desktop responsiveness board!
If you find more errors please post it here: http://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=139062

It's the reach from centre of the caliper bolt to the rim braking surface. Most modern road frames have very similar reach, but they're not all the same; they can vary a few mm, both front and rear. You might've noticed when swapping brakes from one bike to another, that the pads have to be adjusted. Some older steel frames have larger drop, to the point where long-reach calipers are required
