I'm thinking discs on the rear but I'm now wondering if you can use my double piston calipers? Does it seem dumb to downgrade brake setups for just to swap to spokes? Aarrrrrggghhhh I'm so indescive!

I was just telling Tools the other day how much stronger my rear drum is compared to my front discs. I'd say it's twice as strong. If you look at brakes from a leverage standpoint ,drums dominate. Typically drums are much larger in dia.,but not so much on these bikes. But just look at the surface area of two shoes compared to a set of pads.MASSIVE! If I could find one,I would swap my front disc wheel out for a drum without blinking an eye. Besides,they just look cool. And they dont squeal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh,found a smiley for you           DOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH!!!!!
