I respoked the drive-side. Cost me about $20. 60 miles on it so far, and it's still perfectly straight with even tension. Wish me luck!

Following up on my old post... I got a set of Kool-Stop salmon pads. They're an improvement, but the lever force required is still excessive. I do very much miss my XT V-brakes on my MTB. In fact,...

I have the RD-M510 Deore from Nashbar ($18 closeout) on my 7-speed Rockhopper. It's a fantastic part. Ignore the 9-speed sticker.
