Guys

do not forget that Shimano Mountain bike brakes, or some other brand , 6 inch stainless disks, are very servicable for the Firefly and likely the Firestar... Very light also.. Herb

Steve et al,
I have looked at the FBI Black Max brakes online, but haven't talked to anyone who has used them or even seen them first hand. Have you got a chance to look at them in person? They sound great and the price is right. I down-loaded their installation manual and like the well thought out instructions and photos. Has anyone on the list seen a set of these? AC Spruce is listing them on their web site.

I have the Cheap Azuza 5" drum brakes on my FSII....

They work fine for me...

If yer lookin to save weight....maybe the disc would do that...

But as far as "Braking Power".....

Too good and you will put it on it's "Nose" easier....

I have to be careful with mine too....( I'm glad their not touchy )
My 2 cents....
