hey guys, dunno if anyone cares (since we are all in the strumy archer sucks thread) haha,

but over the weekend, i got the avid 160mm kit all set up.
oddly, I suspect the front 1/2 fork takes on the dimensions closer to a rear disc setup, since the flanges are closer to the fork.

I bought the FRONT brake kit, however this was 10mm off (thus only allowing me to use the factory 140mm disc.

thanks to ur help, everyone, cuz then i was able to use some spacers + longer M6 bolts to squeeze out the 10mm and was able to use the 160mm avid disc.

she brakes like a champ, smooth, great feel and im 160lbs, and no endos and NO SHUDDER!!

enjoy!



now to find leather grips, but the ergos on this model are just so damn comfy.
