Jonah,

You might get a better response if you edit the title to state that you are looking for Rocky Mountain Brakes. Most people don't bother looking at posts with non-descriptive or cryptic titles.

I'm in Australia so can't help with your actual request.

J.E.G.

Jonah, I hope someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the only difference between the large and small set-up is the addition of the extra brake drum. I think you can use your set-up and just omit the extra large drum that comes with the early brakes. John

The 26/27 RM's use brake bands that are a different size then the ones used with the small drum setup. The 26/27 used the existing drums, the small drum an additional drum that was installed between the wheel and original small drum. You can't install the small drum type bands on the 1926/27's.

Thanks, Mark for the info.

Pictures always help. So you have an early kit and want to swap for a '26-'27 kit?

The photo of the 26/27 shown above is not correct. The kit does not include the brake drum.
