I bought a 24 hub but did not know it had big cut outs in it so I will not be able to drill it.
As I remember that Atom hub brake weighed at least a ton and it didn't stop the bike very well. The only reason I used it was because I couldn't figure out any other acceptable way to install a rear brake on that bike. I'd definitely put it in the impractical catagory but it provided me with some good stories to tell so I'd say it was worth it.
So far as pics go, keep in mind that I'm a retro grouch. I actually own a digital camera (finally), but I haven't taken the time to figure out how to use it much less to actually post pictures on the internet. Maybe at Christmas time I'll talk one of my grand kids into showing me how to do it.
