I'll be rolling twin roller-cams on the first lap at Mayhem this weekend

There's no way that can feel good/work well. Frightening. :?

Have now fitted frame protection.

How are you finding it?
I love mine, but have yet to try them in wet/muddy conditions. This weekend should be a good test of that!

Went out for a ride. Need more adjusting as only slowed me down. Didn't lock the rear wheel. So back in the stand.

:roll: Have re-read the instructions.

Oh the joy

Great to see those original Suntour brake blocks, but If I remember rightly, they were pretty rubbish when they were new, let alone 20 years old :shock:
I think they bought them in from Dia-Compe.

I've still got mine salted away somewhere, for Retro's sake, but they've long since been replaced with some better modern blocks and shoes. :shock:

I'll sleep better tonight having seen your nice blue cable protection...

Happy stopping.

My lack of stopping maybe down to new blocks on new ano'd rims :? Perhaps better blocks will do the trick

I find those blocks work just fine, even the old ones, maybe the lack of brake power is down to the cable routing and set up, locking a wheel with a roller cam should be easy.
