Current Projects chat and miscellany

What's sad here is that it's being used to make road levers work with road specific calipers.

The instructions (which blew open, whilst I was looking for something else obviously) state never ever to use the travel-mate if you have road levers and road caliper, as I do, or the result will be the sort of smoking crater that you get in a decent SF-B movie, with the ruins of the Statue of Liberty in the distance.

How bad was the brake before? I'm running a road specific BB7 with a Tektro R200 lever with no problem at all. Had to pull up quick the other day and the back wheel was up in the air in a second and that was pulling the lever from the hoods. I'm scared to use the brake when I'm on the drops.
