Re: [[ Possible Spam ]] [bentechriders] Advice Please

Hmm, that sounds like a good idea. How is the braking power with U brakes?

nothing too drastic solong as the 20" fork has similar clearance to
the current 26" one. Don'tforget you would need to move your rear
brake posts to accommodate thesmaller wheel. Also while your moving
brake posts I would seriously suggestputting the front ones on the
back of the fork legs. It makes it easier in anumber of ways, cable
routing etc.Good luck and don't forget to post pic's once it's
done.Paul-----Original Message-----From: bentechriders@yahoogroups.com
