Anyone ever run one of these? Not sure if they actually do anything but they kind of look cool! :daumenhoch:

 :) They look like shit and if you have a decent brake that is well setup there is no need..I ran one on an early 2ks Haro race frame.It was so flexy that when you pulled the lever the brake would pull in the seat-stays.

More for mtbs I know but I kind of like them.  Might pick up a cheap one to see what it looks like mounted. :crazy2:

There used to be some nice carbon fibre ones out there, no real use nowadays other than looks
