Brilliant! Thanks Jim, knew I hadn't jest made it up. And logic kind of suggests that if a tls brake needs a link rod, a 4ls must need two?
Must have been a nightmare to set them up dead right and keep them right.

Interesting,When I bought this at Barber vintage weekend a Canadian told me of his experiences racing with that wheel, he carefully set the linkage so it had a bit of progressive action, 1-2-3-4 shoes contacting, not all at once, or it was too "touchy". I (cough) haven't run my set up yet... Need to send some parts for plating (going on a year now). and a build to put it on.
First one contacting will wear more than the others, but it's not going to happen overnight, and the wear of all of them will be in step.Interesting,
Question, Was he racing on dirt?
Also, if you make it progressive, will that hold during wear? Or will the pads also progressivly wear ones faster than the others. Or the wear is insignificant?
It's art. And once the bike is done it's very cheap to maintain, because it seldom exceeds 50 mph or goes very far! Rocker clutches and jockey forever! Best!Quite like his lil 650 bobber but I gotta wonder why people go for a hardtail - maybe their roads are better than what the Cooncil provides around here? Thing that amused me was when he started to, um, wipe his bum. No, obviously it's far more stylish to a have a hand gearchange and you might as well put it someplace awkward. Sorry, I mean cool. I guess you just gotta suffer for a slice of street cred, man. ETTO.
Yes Raymond, a few weird things on that machine but its his bike I suppose.Quite like his lil 650 bobber but I gotta wonder why people go for a hardtail - maybe their roads are better than what the Cooncil provides around here?

Apart from that, I can think of hundreds / thousands of occasions where fiddling around with one hand off the bars would be detrimental to one's health.The arse wiping gear-change 'motion' ('scuse the pun) is not a great or cool look to me
Hello neighbor.Here's my 81 chop I finished up last year sometime. First ever build and I'm picking up 2 more this weekend!
