Upside down brake mount

Could anyone tell me why some forks were made with the brake mount like this?

And does anyone have a rotor guard that fits in this thing?

Sup buddy!

I’ve never seen any fork with the disc brake mount welded like that but I guess it ain’t that relevant as long as it’s centered. My tip on the rotor guard is to do one yourself with an old/cheap pan. Hit me up if you need some help with that but you just need a 3/8 (10mm) drill and an angle grinder. (and some pacience too)

The final result should look like this, good luck!

Here are all the important dimensions for 160mm-rotor-based ISO mount. Should those differ, the disk guard will not fit (I doubt it).

That’s the thing, they differ :stuck_out_tongue: My question was more about the inverted brake mount on my fork… I am curious about the reason for that. Someone mentioned it was like this on some motorcycles, so maybe it’s inspiration from there?

Jeez.
Could this fork be from the Apple IPoloBike prototype?
