Thanks Clayton, After your first e-mail, I did some research and confirmed I was wrong in my assumption. I've ordered a pair to try them and compare them to the Paul Racers.
The new gist I'm exploring is putting the rear one below the brake bridge, per Sheldon's suggestion. This will allow me to run a center pull in the back as well. The one detail pending is the straddle wire. No problem with the Paul's, but the Dia-Compe seems to have a fixed length straddle wire that may be too short for the rear. I ordered the Dia-Compe balla/fiesta cable straddle ends from RBW to see if they allow me to customize the length. Thanks for the tip on using the valve stem ferrule to fill the recess if I reverse the rear brake. I was thinking of how to approach that, but your suggestion is simpler than what I was thinking of doing.
