    last year i bought a specialized tricross.
    i took it to the pyrenees to play 'king of the mountains'.
    i nearley died on it because of front brake judder so bad it was like getting a piggyback on a epileptic having a fit.
    i posted about it on here……….all the usual neysayers dismissed it as complacency and moaning…….. 😆

    spot the differance

    i got carbon forks on my JtS and have my cable hung from a under stem hanger, for the most of it i have avoided the judder – but it has had its moments, copius amounts of mud on the rim help!

    i took the bike back to the shop where i bought it, a big spesh dealer, withinn 2 weeks of buying it.
    they dismissed it, saying the judder would stop when the brakes bedded in.
    i sold the bike after my holiday to a mate, after sourcing a fork mounted brake hanger. he has never had a problem.

    I have been looking for a fork mounted hanger for my bike.

    Used to have lots of them and gave them away because I wasn't going to use cantis again – curses 🙂

    So who has them?

    the new cable hanger is a PITA if you want to fit mudguards though…

    Drill 2 small holes each side of the mudguard where it passes under the fork and use zipties. I do this because it stops rattles.

    You should be able to get one of these from your LBS.
