Having put V brakes on my muni (Nimbus 26"😉 I noticed that
the flex in the saddle made braking very hard to modulate,
especially on steeps with drops / rocks. To get over this I
extended the old bar end I'm using for a lever mount, up to
a plate on the bolts holding the handle on.
Result? Bomber rigid handle. It's only when you stop it
moving you realise how much of your effort on climbs
has been going into flexing the saddle. Braking is also
much more predictable. Well worth the extra ounce or
two of steel.

Also pic there of my wheel, rebuilt last night as 3
leading - 3 trailing, onto a chromo wide hub, after I bent
the old one. I Even managed to find some M2.5 brass
washers to washer the spoke heads, after seeing it here on
a previous thread.
