| don't waste the time on it. I tried the brakes again + I have come to the conclusion that the brake drum temperature rises quicker with the long levers + that over a long distance it would be a greater advantage to have a little less front braking + remain more constant than to have increased braking for less distance. However we can discuss this problem when I see you. Regarding the plug argument, which is apparently taking place, I do not wish | ||
