    May be right about braking loss - which was my first concern, too - so I hope someone who has changed weighs in. Am wondering if there are improved brakes that can make up the diff. Suspect the aftermarket may have already addressed this, but I'd rather hear from real riders than just read adverts.

    My problem with the dual is it totally obscures the view of the wheel. I have spoke wheels now that pretty much unseen. Plus its stupid to go to all the effort to clean the spokes when no one can see but a half inch of them.

    if you would change to the lyndell brake pads you could eliminate most of the cleaning....at least the brake dust would dissapear.....i put them on mine and have no brake dust any more.....just normal road dirt.....and, just another thought!!

    Well, there is a few things that would make my ride better,,, I think I would start with better lowers/sliders, or hand controls. What I really need is to brake it all down again and power-coat my frame, then work my way out…again.
