	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.  :)
