Hi guys,
I came across a set of old Sachs drum brake hubs that I've been thinking about using for a (hopefully low-maintenance) commuter bike. Does anyone have any experience with these? Would it be worth the effort, or should I look elsewhere? Given their age I assume they were originally used with caliper/canti-compatible brake levers, so is that a must, or simply a recommendation? (haven't got any easy way of rigging up a test)
Cheers,
