oh yea brakes. We actually use the Pauls posted Racers. I've never used the V brakes but have and love the neo retro cantis on my Saluki. We're 138 years old and weigh 365 lbs, so we're not speed deamons, but do have a lot of mass to stop.
BTW, after a year of practice we did our first inn to inn tour on the P'tit Train d'Nord in Quebec. Had a great time. This summer we hope to cycle the Erie Canal on the tandem. Many years of canoe camping helped prepare us. Michael On Monday, June 30, 2014 11:46:16 AM UTC-4, Tony DeFilippo wrote: > > Thanks Michael!
