You may notice the post upgradeitis T2000. Basically everything other than the groupset parts, wheels and frame has been changed. The final stages of the disease are emerging as red anodised bolts make an appearance. Now all we have to work on is our mismatched bottles and clothes.
MrFish,

Any changes to the rear brake, it's the only area I'm not happy with on our T2000. Currently running XT Canti's and a drum brake, but still not totally happy. I keep thinking disk might be the way to go, but not sure about rack clearance and it's about a $250 upgrade. I've tried the original Avids and some v-brakes, but nothing has been outstanding. I'm also thought about drilling out the bridge and running a regular caliper brake, but I'm not sure the bridge could handle the forces without some additional reinforcement.

Thanks
