  Lou,
  If you are interested in switching to Matco I have a set I woulld like to sell.
  I am using the Matco Compound multi disc brake. The Matco 's I have in a box are brand new.

    Lou,

    I have 450 hours of operation on my STD RG with Matco brakes and never had a problem.   I just upgraded the original Matco's.  I forget the name Matco uses, XC or XL or something, but increases the stopping power of the brakes by +10% and the upgrade is about $300. If you switch to Matco's I think the factory has the best price, be sure to get the new upgraded version.

      Recently I have had problems with my Cleveland brakes binding up. I have a Velocity STD FG.  My past experience with Cleveland brake systems has not been favorable. I had them on my LongEZ and they were trouble from the beginning. I finally switched to Grove brake systems and found them to be far superior. What about the Velocity community? Are the Grove systems favored over the Cleveland? My calipers are old and I can't make out the number to order new pads. The only number I find is 30-75X  8-87  194. I can't find this number in ACS catalogue. Does anyone have the part number for pads for a 600-6 wheel?

remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must
be most aware of change in the air however slight lest we become
unwitting victims of the darkness.
