Re: [RBW] Re: V-Brake Measurement Request

Thank you, Will, for linking the archived v-brake page - I recall the original page existing but forgot to where the archives moved (bookmark now saved, thanks!) This helps a similar scenario on my Clem. I recall I first tried to install a Nitto Mini Campee 32f at some point in the past but t
