meh - with the rest of the build - I dunno an hour or two of looking at it and thinking a bit. > How did you do it?

Does it change how I would do things? yes cantilever - rear brake done with splitter. front brake done with just the straddle cable carrier. -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
