I think realistically, you will start skidding (which then effectively reduces the forces at the brake) long before you snap the bolt or ovalize the hole. Of course, that assumes properly a torqued bolt. Gino was running one of the prototypes last August and I watched it work very well for him on a tricky descent. His report at the time (you might search archives here as it's popped up a few times while in proto-mode) was little to no discernable flex in the brake. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclofiend/3780328670/ - J -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes Get your photos posted: http://www.cyclofiend.com/guidelines "Then I sat up, wiped the water out of my eyes, and looked at my bike, and just like that I knew it was dead" -- Robert McCammon, "Boy's Life" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
