I'm glad you are OK! Coming from an off road background, disk brakes were a necessity for me. I went to the trouble of brazing on my own caliper mounts on my newest road build and it has already saved me from an encounter with
driving texter, <---- yes you read that correctly... lol. Happened in only the first 150 miles on the new bike too!
Yes, the blue cable is from Powercordz, they feel as close to my hydros as possible, even with brifters ad they don't stretch. I highly recommend a setup like this to any others out there that commute regularly. The mount came from Paragon Machine and was about $8. The BB7's were '11 NOS from Jensen, $56. True four seasons stopping power for the heavily laden commuter!
