pit bull brakes

revcore:
Pitbulls can work as good as a Boa and sometimes even better. For the best stopping power out of Pitbulls, Use a top quality cable and brake pads and also put a little lube on the cam and she'll pull you up quick smart. Pitbulls don't really flex that I've noticed as long as you check the 2 chrome bolts periodically.

kdw712:
I think revcore said there
theres not alot between them

the only flex on a pitbull would be the mounting bolt in the brake bridge
but i have never noticed any on mine

After looking for one on the 'Bay for a while with no luck, there's suddenly been quite a few on offer. I snagged one just last week.
Well worth buying whilst they're around, I'd say.

Lube the square block behind the cam, and don't take it off thinking it's not neccessary.
Also if you can get rid of that 'arm', it works much better. For a couple of years I ran a piece of metal strip with a drilled hole at each end that attached to the seatpost clamp bolt. I just attached the adjuster onto the opposite end of that, and gained a ton of performance.
There was a manufactured seatclamp with an integrated arm & stopper, Odyssey made it for this very purpose, I think.

theRuler:
top tip wayne

yeh the integral cable "hanger" looks like a flexy area
