Thanks all. I'll be sure to snap some shots for Jim's site first chance I get. The weather 'round here's been unusually nasty this winter. I'll take my camera on the first ride, which hopefully won't be too far off. I didn't really get an answer to my question as to what the heck a "mini" V brake is, but thanks for all the help anyways. The set up is experimental, as I've never run Albatross bars before and I may not like them. If not I have a noodle in reserve once I score a shorter stem. I chose the V's over the cantis mainly because I had levers and if they don't fly on the Sam I'll but them on a CX bike I have that is very prone to fork chatter. If the rapid grab-release of the canti wire theory is correct the V's should fix "that" problem. The cantis on that bike will find a home on the Sam;
