One very good point I find with these brakes (foot), on a dry wood surface & two steel studded tyres, they keep wonderfully straight no skidding as with the brake at back of gear box. Lighting set still going very well, have had to take up belt twice. 4/7/12 Ro{C. C. Rose - Export Manager} Crawford Would you please send me a steel studded tyre & tube to replace one I sent back to you. Hope you receive it safely.
