  • whats the 'special cantilever' tool called? what brand is it? where did you get it from? cheers Jim

  • The camera work doesn't show anything useful. All we see is the guy, saying "adjust this, tighten that"...poor video unfortunately.

  • @BearNDragon No, if you look closely they ARE canti's -just because they use a yoke wire instead of a link wire does NOT disqualify them as being canitelvers.

    And it is BRAKE -not break.

    DoubleFAIL.
