Yeah, its on a disc fork. I assume the hole is for a light or for the more
normal mark’s rack style fork crown bracket thing.

If you don’t use a daruma for the front fender, having threads on the back side
of the fork crown is perfect for a bolt through a fender bracket.
Or, getting a little “old school,” you could mount a tire sweeper back there.

That's certainly the case, but why? The only thing I can think that'd be
good for is a light mount, and two holes is as better for a light mount as
it is for everything else I can imagine, so I'm left wondering.

A note for Drew, in case you do decide to drill that out, best to use a
center
A fork crown intended for use on a fork with brazed-on brake mounts (cantis or
centerpulls) might be made differently, since the hole in the crown doesn’t
need to accommodate a through bolt.

Definitely go through the front because that's going to be your guide for
the back, and those threads are messing everything up, so they need to get
messed up!, as in, erased. Just enough gone to allow the rack's bolt
through without bother.

The thought crossed my mind. Ive never drilled through expensive steel
before. I assume you'd go from the front? how do you not mess up those
threads?

Update on what's left:
- Salsa Woodchipper bar 7075-T6 AL version (31.8mm x 46cm at the hoods)
- Good-Very Good, minimal wear - $25 or $15 with stem purchase
- Thomson Elite X2 threadless (10deg x 31.8mm x 90mm) - Good, some
abrasion on underside - $40
- Salsa Guide threadless
I'm a little confused and curious, having never seen a 6mm threaded hole on
the front of a fork crown, but assuming the fork's not built of something
other than metal, wouldn't it be so easy and satisfying to drill out the
threading and continue out of the back of the fork, enabling "normal" use
With that said, I should have pointed out the 'ratcheting' feel is pretty
great. I like the 'feel' of the pull better than the dura ace but I loved
my dura ace shifters on my Crust's bartends. So... 🤷🏽♀️

Ah. good point. This is a problem I hadn't thought through. Im not opposed
to cutting, but being a perpetual rack switcher makes me think ill likely
sell it, and a chopped off bolt wont make it too desirable.

I'm 98% sure that the bolt on the Nitto 32F is M6 x 1.0mm, which is
standard for virtually all M6 threads on bicycles, including cantilever
bosses, the larger rack bosses on some Rivs, seat bolts on Rivs, lots of
other things...
Now, if you have a threaded M6 x 1.0mm hole in the front fa

Can someone confirm the size/threading of the bolt that goes into the fork
crown on the nitto 32f?
I have a fork with a hole tapped for M6 on the front end, but no hole on
the back, so I'd need to thread it directly into that hole
Thanks,
Drew

I like looping it around the drive side of the seatpost in this situation -
kind of enlarges the radius of the bend while keeping it close to the
seatpost and frame. Use the longest hanger you can find - Surly makes a
long one.

Patrick, You build up a very special bike. I love all of it. Is that a
very large bike bottle cage that fits a liter bottle?

I can see the virtues of dynamo lighting but I'm still rocking the portable
rechargeable ones on my ride. All the wiring and contact points and all
that would complicate my bike too much. I hope you get it resolved Leah.
Your bike is awesome-sauce!

Meant to say west *TO* Hwy 71...
Oklahoma's OK, but my most frequent destination on a bike west of 71 was
Devil's Den State Park, Arkansas.
