[RBW] Re: Why do my short pull levers work pretty darn ok with these Motolites?

If it is the shimano BL-M770 lever, then you have yourself a brake lever that was designed for v-brakes. The lever features "servo-wave" lever action that provides more cable pull along with increased leverage. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

[RBW] Re: Why do my short pull levers work pretty darn ok with these Motolites?

Since combining short-pull (high leverage ratio) levers with v-brakes (high leverage) just increases the leverage ratio of the whole system, you can achieve more than adequate stopping power with this "wrong" combination. In my experience, it comes at the cost of brake pad clearance (your wheel

Yes, it works, and well at that. Use a strap to make it happy, and perhaps a stiffener (I've used a flattish stick) to keep the front from sagging too much if not stuffed). I've taken to using a long leather lash strap (from Riv) to secure my trucksacks of either size as the snaps pop open on my

I do not use a bear bag (though I have one). As trail use climbs, that may well change. IF all users practiced clean camps, bears wouldn't get conditioned to humans = food. As it is they still stay away from humans where I go. Bear sightings (and a few mountain lion too) are regular occurrences

It's interesting to note that location, perhaps even more than season, dictates what we pack. For example, it makes a ton of sense for DP to plan for worst case scenarios given that he's camping (I'd guess, at least) at, near, or above the tree line in the Rockies. Also, Phillip is sure to bring
