As long as you use a very fine-tooth blade, you'll be alright.

How do you feel about keeping the blade wet so that the carbon doesn't clog it?

I've never had any trouble with the blade clogging.

Thanks.
Another one for ya'. Do you know if they sell a handle bar extender. Something that screws in like an expandable bar plug, but adds an inch or so the the drop of a bar?

A weird Fred-type asked me that a couple of years ago at the old shop where I used to work. I don't think we came up with anything, though.

I only knew about that because a customer had them a few days ago and I was curious.

Did you notice if you could put bar plugs in the end of them? or do they serve as the bar plug?

So I just got new brake pads for the BRS-100, and its better now, but the brake itself is now flexing. :l
And I just realized that I spent 30 on a brake that was originally 24. dammit.

I'm not really sure why you're having so much trouble. Angie's really doesn't flex that much.
