I'm changing the quill stem on my old British Eagle MTB. Unfortunately the front brakes use a hole in the old quill stem as the hanger and the new Nitto MT-10 stem doesn't have a hole. So I need to fit another hanger somewhere else. Looks like it might be easy to fit one under the headset nut, but the new hangers (Dia Compe) have a small tab at the back of the hole - presumably to stop the hanger turning. The headset is Shimano (Deore I think).
My questions are -
As my bike never had a hanger mounted under the headset nut, will there be a groove for the tab to locate into?
Will this type of hanger with groove even fit under the headset nut if there is a tab?
Should I look to mount a hanger somewhere else?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
