I just posted in another thread about the same thing so:<br />
<br />
Answer is:<br />
Tektro 1272AF front cable hanger (if you have a hole in your fork to mount it to).<br />
More info on my experience here:<br />

It definitely reduced the problem with the new fork, it is rideable. I now have put 400 miles on I am fairly happy but would rather have no shudder. I am sure it is the length of cable from the hanger, but I think I am going to try an old set of XT V's just to make sure.

I read this recently and it makes so much sense. I'm going to try out some mini-v. If those don't work, I might get a hanger that attaches to the hole in the fork, thereby eliminating the long tension on the cable. I'll let you know.

They not only provided GREAT customer service, but corrected the problem. The new fork they sent had mild chatter and with a slight toe adjustment I can't get it to bump or move. It is great in the street and tomorrow it will get the full shake down ride.

cool, nice to hear about another company providing good service! do post back on whether that solved your problem.

So, I read an interesting article on brake shudder. It is caused by the cable being hung from the top of the head tube. When you apply the brake the fork flexes backward causing the brake cable to tighten. This constant loosening and tightening of the cable, coupled with the fork flexing back and forth causes the dreaded shudder. If you can make it go away with pad adjustments, good for you. For me, the only real solution was to get the hanger off the head tube. I used a Problem Solvers Travel…

For me, the only real solution was to get the hanger off the head tube. I used a Problem Solvers Travel Agent and a set of V-Brakes. My shudder, which had almost caused me to wreck a couple of times, is completely gone and I can lay on the brake as hard as I want. I am using an Ouzo Cross, BTW. The V's work better anyway, IMO. Good luck. Well the verdict on the Winwo…tag:cowbell.cxmagazine.com,2008-06-10:1198434:Comment:30682008-06-10T19:25:47.140ZCX Chef Jimhttps://cowbell.cxmagazine.com/profile/JimRowan
Well the verdict on the Winwood Dusty is in, just to be fair it was a very early serial number, upon inspection by the fine folks at Winwood they have decided to send me a new fork. They gave no reason as to why, just that after inspection they would be more than happy to replace it with new. So friday the new steed will be back on the road and not shamefully hanging in a dark shop corner.

This build had a set of Neuvation M28's with about 50 miles on them and the brakes are Tektro CR720's with the stock pad, straight out of the box.

wow, that's an interesting story. surprised winwood thinks it's possible that something is wrong with the fork - you'd think either they'd blame it on something else, or seen enough complaints to think that all their forks are likely to do this.<br />
<br />
just curious, what rim/brake/pad are you running? I do notice when running my old-skool matrix iso-c2 rims with their non-machine sidewalls, the braking contributes a lot more to fork shudder than the reflexes.
