I recently purchased some used Cannondale Moto FR suspension forks. These are the ones which use needle bearings in both sides thereby highly reducing any static friction, which is sometimes called stiction. One peculiar thing about these, and I've seen other examples with the same situation, is that apparently Cannondale has surgically sawed off the disc brake mount for some reason, which is unknown to me. Does anybody know if there was some kind of strange recall or some other reason that they had possibly done this surgery? What I'm wondering also is if I could TIG weld on a replacement disc brake mount to exactly where the decapitated one used to be. There's a nice rectangular block where you can see, obviously, where the disc brake mount was situated. I'm not sure what the alloy is exactly. It appears to be aluminum.
