Hey everyone,

I have an older model cannon dale unsuspended bike that is just begging for an xtracycle conversion. I've done a great deal of reading about the advantages but have a couple questions regarding how it all goes together:

1. Does the kit come with everything needed for the kit? If not how do I know how much longer the shifter/brake cables and chain need to be?

2. My bike uses v brakes so I take it from what I've read it will work on the xtra.

3. Is there anything else I need to keep in mind when purchasing the kit? I can see me using it primarily for running around town for misc errands and grocery shopping. I'm thinking about going with the Free Radical Trucker kit and upgrading the racks to HD. Is there anything else you guys would suggest to get it put together?

Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
