Drums are evil.. that was what went on my excel as well.. and no, I managed to avoid hitting anybody.. or ruining my pants. But I am sure I scared a lot of people who thought I must have been moving a LOT faster than I was to do that kind of slide with the brakes locked..
The worst part was.. I was in the middle of nowhere and had had a 50 mile drive to get home at like 10pm at night.. that was the scary part, hoping nobody would make me touch the brakes hard.
I agree with you on the hardware on these lines.. while I love how the anodised aluminum looks and is a high quality piece.. It seems they did not leave enough room for movement.. it would have been better to have crimped some non moving brackets to the line.
