[RBW] bolt size on Nitto 32f mini front rack

2021-05-03 Thread Drw 
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

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.

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 
centering punch that fits inside the threads so you can start with a 
smaller drill bit and go bigger until you hit that sweet spot where you're 
clearing out the threads up front and making the final pass out the back 
with the rack then sliding through effortlessly. With oil of course, and a 
wee bit of abandon.

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.

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.

Drew,

Save yourself some stress and either sell or trade the 32f for a Mark's 
rack with diving board. 

Best,
Rich in ATL
