I have Neo-Retros on my Hunq, and after much fiddling and consulting of Sheldon Brown's canti articles I have concluded that I can't get the straddle cable low enough to overcome the brakes' inherent low mechanical advantage. I live on top of a steep hill, in a wet climate, so this situation will not stand, man.
Now that I'm all educated about cantilever theory and practice, I'm thinking of ditching them entirely and switching to linear pull brakes, specifically Motolites. My concern is fender clearance. I'm running Big Ben 50s and SKS fenders. Does anyone have experience running a similar setup, and if so how is it working out? I know that Tektro makes a linear pull brake with extra-long arms for more clearance, but I'd prefer to go with Motolites because of a) sex appeal, and b) made in USA, etc. Thanks, Jay Lonner Bellingham, WA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
