Mike, while it's more work to RENEW the springs, it's no more work to
replace the cable on a disk setup than drums.  My point is to renew the
assembly. Lets see- I'll bet most of this could have been written by
Randy B. but with a few substitutions were I wrote DRUM.

Don't' forget adding rear disks is not a simple task of slapping them
on, you need to maintain balance.

Before i am seen as a drum champion, keep in mind I will too convert the
Roc to 4 wheel disks.  :)
