Current Projects chat and miscellany

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.

Its a simple lever principle. If you pull more cable wth the same movement, the brake will actuate with less force. That said peple mix ad match road and mtb brake components all the time without dying, and i sounds like this set-up is better than it was before. So you must be able to unduce enough force on the pad/disc.
