Hey Randy,
I'm new around here and just checkin' the site out.
So I'll throw in my two cents awhile. I kind of like things basic. The less fittings in the brake system the better is my thought. Nice frame tabs are fine with me. Rubber brake hoses ,drum brakes and silicone fliud work for me. Yep the pedal feels different but, it stops good.
Have fun,Smokey
