RE: rear disk brakes

[jbade@domain.elided]

Steve,

I love my TSM kit.  Since putting it on I've  really loved the way I can
stop.  Even on the Ice and snow we got this winter, it seamed to be better..
Wheel lockup is something that depends on you when you install the kit.  Get
an adjustable proportioning valve and find a nice open area to test it...
All you end up doing is making sure the front wheels lock up before the
rear...

Hope this helps..
