But i am still not happy. On the trail today i couldn't even lock up the front. Is this because it is cold outside(right at freezing) or do i just need better brakes like an 8" and maybe a few steps up in the Juicy line. My Hayes 8' had enough power but i never rode it in the cold. Oh ya, i am a Clyde.
