Careful with all that braking power at the back, if you get on your brakes really hard you may find yourself swapping ends. |

I don't normally drive it that hard, but yes it's something to be aware of for sure. The pedal feel is much firmer than with the drums and the travel is less too.

Well since the ole trusty 1915 developed a serious knock suddenly, I'll be tearing it down this week and hopefully reinstalling on Saturday with help from Ryan. |
