cheers Tony,
Yeah I've seen the backstops before, but was hoping to avoid this as I would need two of em and £40
is a bit too steep. But at least I know that I can get these over here.
One of the reasons the Tektros jumped out at me was their low price (around £3 each). I can have a
buddy send them from the usa but I was hoping to get em a bit sooner than that, but I suppose I may
have to in the end.
currently, I'm running a long cable from the front to the rear, but its less than decent. I know I'm
loosing loads of power using this option.
If anyone knows where I can get a cheaper version of the Backstop or even the tektro copy here in
the UK I would be very happy to have you reply to the board...
cheers
