Looks like you have the best of both worlds-cool older bike with great stopping power.
Thanks! Since I did not do the assembly myself, I would need to direct that question to my mechanic. He did mention that it was kind of hard since there is very little clearance with the 22t rear cog. The good news is that the bracket they supply with the case that mounts near the crank is not necessary since there is a mounting hole there in the frame, you just need to drill a hole in the case, once you have it all lined up. My mechanic did a very nice job-- he was complaining that the chain was still rubbing a little bit from time to time, but to me, it is imperceptible. That is why I like my mechanic, he is a perfectionist!
