Do y'all find skipping or skidding more effective for slowing down. I rememeber somone way back when trying to give a physics explanation for why skipping is more effective which didnt really make sense. anyway, im just gunna take it slow and enjoy the money that i didnt purchase a new brake with..or something. thanks
man if you feel like going nude then go nude. if you decide you don't really want to i have a spare brake that came off the front of my last conversion. it's an ’80s side-pull, can't remember what brand. be glad to give it to you if you want. just lemme know
