I have a Cross-Check setup with Sturmey-Archer Drums front and back (the 90mm XL versions).I'd say the brakes work about as well as anything else, but I haven't tried them on any really long, really steep roads (can't climb up them anyway with the 5-speed hub). They make cable routing a

I rode from Santa Rosa to Seattle on a Pashley Guvnor equipped with Sturmey Archer drums brakes F/R. Our route included some long mountain descents, and I never had a problem with the brakes. Even on 10-15 mile-long descents, they worked perfectly. --Eric N Sent from the iPad 2 On Jul 12,

I definitely felt that way. Nigel, my Guvnor, weighs in at about 35 pounds, so he was a bit of a load to push all the way to Seattle. Great memories, though. --Eric N Sent from the iPad 2 On Jul 12, 2011, at 1:44 PM, William tapebu...@gmail.com wrote: I like the next shot in the series
