I think they are all much of a muchness, just really depends of the condition of your rear calipers and if you have the right pads

Drift up at bishops court bt only been up the once,  hopefully headin to the next one on the 4th.

Hopin to get a hydraulic handbrake at some point but don\'t have the money at the min. Not to worryed for i got on well enough without it but will try and get one for the next day after July.
I did adjust t at the lever th last time but was wondering am I able to get better results from the caliper, it\'s a free mod
