Those are Shimano longreach Ultegras with Jack Browns. The set up is outstanding. Using those tires revolutionized what was already a great bike in my mind. When I remove a wheel, I use the QR on the brake, the QR on the Tektro levers, and then I screw down the barrell adjuster. And I enjoy every second of it, because the wheel comes out easily, the tires are great, and they are three very easy steps in the wheel removal that all work very cleanly and predictably with no hassle. I highly recommend it. But make sure you set it up with QR's on both the brake levers and on the brakes if you don't use the Tektro widemouths. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fun. -Jim -----Original Message----- >From: Steve Palincsar <palin...@his.com> >Sent: Nov 17, 2009 10:11 PM >To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com >Subject: Re: [RBW] Re: Which Side Pull Brakes for Jack Browns? > >On Tue, 2009-11-17 at 19:06 -0800, rperks wrote: >> I will also as why not the long reach shimano brakes? it looks as >> though they will let a Jack Brown pass with the QR, a wide rim and >> judicious use of the adjustment screw, although I do not have >> experience with this yet.
