I've been running the brakes since September and I really like them. Simple to install and the pull is actually pretty dialed and smooth. You do have to have your wheel centered or it can be spongy, but when the arms are pretty even it's real good.

Could we get some pictures with the brake installed, pretty please !

I'm running some samples with the bolts from the regular Manual brakes, so they don't sit flush like they're supposed to. I'll have the right bolts next week. I'll post photos when they come through.

kurt ,
Let's get an update on these things. You got pics for us?

does the hanger flop around and hit the frame from lack of tension?

I can see that as a possibility.

every now and then i think it would be awesome to run brakes again but then its like "adjust your springs, make sure wheel is true, spongey, clearance, blahbalhablah"
