Default pulley brake systems

So Im trying to decide what winter mods I might go with, although it was a sunny 30 degrees today (I think thats about 88 US)

I think cleaning up the right side of my bike with a pulley brake system might be the way to go

Any of you guys had any experience with them? Can you recommend a set up??

thanks
Dan

I didn't think they made it for the rocker? When I purchased new rims, tires, pulley etc, I wanted to do the same mod, but was told it wasn't available. I like the look, but not sure the price is worth it.

Let me know which you have in mind.

I run a DNA sprocket brake..works great, really cleans up the right side of the bike...gets a lot of attention in shows....they make a pulley brake also.
