Re: AAJ Disc Brake Sticks - 20 Sec Video

[Eric R <hoodoovoodooray@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's solved.   I was sent the adapters for the larger wheel.   I just
need to go get '76 Monaco rotors.  They use the same bearings/etc.
Luckilly I have 15" wheels that clear the calipers.

AAJ/Roger was going to do a free swap, but I decided to just go get
the larger rotors.

Yeh,  my discs spin a heck of a lot easier with the wheels on.  I
think I'll still look to see if there's any adjustments to be made
once I get the new rotors.
