Can brakes be added to Specialized Langster Pro?

Postby GasCyclist » Wed Oct 08, 2014 9:19 am

Hey everyone,

Looking at updating my current 2011 Specialized langster frame to the 2015 Langster Pro, love the aero look of the frame.

The main issue is that the pro frame is not drilled for a rear brake and neither is the front fork. Is there any workaround to this besides purchasing a new fork?

It is usually possible to drill it, as long as you know what you're doing.
Is the 2015 version a carbon crown or alloy?

Fork's are cheap. Just buy a similar fork that is drilled already.

What size frame do you take?

I have a 2014 langster pro frame (in White/red/blue) that I'm looking to get rid of. Has the standard forks (uncut steerer tube) and Ritchey carbon forks (with a drilled brake hole - never got around to putting brakes on #yolo).
