[QUOTE="Mark Fisher, post: 14628, member: 510"] Maybe I was unlucky because Davids kit already had the grooves machined in, it only cost me $20 to get them grooved, far less than the cost of returning them to the UK, not to mention the delay. Like I said, not a big deal. No shims came with the kit, but I had plenty of spare wheel bearing shims in the shed or "nerd-cave" as my 12 year old calls it! The original hollow axle is retained, the original cables were a bit tight, and the club supplied a set of slightly longer cables, which, with hindsight should have come with the kit. Albervin is right, it is the unexpected emergency that will prove the value of the new brakes and I have already been there....money well spent. thanks mark [/QUOTE]
