[Closed] V-brake upgrade for non-V-enabled forks

Bought my 4yr old son a Specialized Hotrock for Christmas. Bit disappointed with the old (80s BMX-style) front brake and would love to upgrade to a V-Brake. There's no bosses on the forks.

Any suggestions for conversions, etc to upgrade?

I'd just get some decent pads and leave it at that, tbh.

Aye, that can't possibly be worth the bother.

Cool. Thank you.

Last thing - any suggestions on decent pads then pls?

I'm guessing some of these would fit the bill [url= http://www.winstanleysbmx.com/category/295/Brake_Pads ]Winstanleys BMX brake pads[/url]

I have to admit, that DNA plate looks tempting, although the price is sending me down the upgraded pads option.
