December 11, 200421 yr UCDQ (Uncle Charlie Dumb Question) #26. This is what happens when I start treading new turf... My project Cota has an incorrect, modern-looking fork brace. Judging by the pictures I've seen, there was no fork brace on this model. Is there any benefit to having one? One of the reasons I ask is because it takes the place of fender stays, so the fender only attaches in the middle. I'm considering alloy fenders (for their superior price, durability and ease of installation, of course) and I'm curious if it's OK to just support them in the middle like this.
December 11, 200421 yr Author Should they be fit with the fork brace, or is that an unnecessary part?
December 11, 200421 yr Author Is there a modern ignition for this bike? That would be tempting. The only sensible ignition mod I remember from the old days was to get the condenser out of its hostile environment and put it up by the coil. The fender thing will take a while...I'm still recovering from an unexpected $225 pair of fork tubes. Ouch.
December 11, 200421 yr Take a look at www.trialclasico.com they have original Montesa stays at 30 euros or the complete alloy guard with stays and mudflap for 100 euros. May take some time to find your way around there site though!!! Martin www.motoswm.com
