1 9/14/05 I converted an Ultegra 6500 caliper to avoid chain interference. It retains a 1.5:1 leverage ratio and is very stiff and powerful.	2 I'm holding the removed barrel nut threads that hit the chain. Noodle rests 2/3 way inside the arm and liner tube protrudes.	3 I can pedal in ~15' dia. left-hand circle without interference. see thread on BROL for boring history	4 Ingenious installation of Zero Gravity caliper by a friend. Noodle was threaded to screw into the barrel nut hole for maximum clearance.
5 My version of the ZG caliper install with two layers of shrink tubing over noodle & barrel nut. I passed it along to a friend who did me one better!	6 My method of ZG install resulted in some chain rub residue after a rough 3 mile test ride!	7 My old setup with a reverse mounted BR-R600 caliper.	8 Intra-arm adapter designed to allow BR-R600 caliper to be mounted from rear.
9 Prototype adapter to mount Shimano BR-R600 front caliper to the rear of Kinesis fork.	10 Adapter details for installation of BR-R600 onto rear of Kinesis Carbon Aero fork	11 Shimano BR-R600 on rear. Kool Stop MTB pads were overkill & I use road shoes with Kool Stop salmon pads now.	12 BR-R600 next to Challenge dual pivot caliper. I've heard the Challenge caliper is poor and they've stopped using it.
