You and I both remove the blocks on Ambassadeurs because we don't need them. The guys who do need them, also need them to work.

I can't remember how many times I've taken a NIB Abu out of the box, popped the plate off to remove the brakes, and found one or both already laying inside the drum.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
