Tim, >From the pictures, the Paul's look the same as the standard Compass centerpull brakes in that it can be unhooked on one side. The pivot points do look a bit different. Or, maybe the model of Paul's they were thinking of is different that that shown on the Riv web site. I will have to confirm with Roman next week why this is an issue.
http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/brcp2.htm https://www.compasscycle.com/shop/brakes/compass-centerpull-brakes/ I wonder if the Kool-Stops used on the Compass would fit on the Paul's and whether that might help the squeal. Thanks.
