There is a downside to powerful long reach brakes. The mounting bolt. I have used Paul Racers for years on my Homer commuter and when I had a stop sign at the bottom of a steep hill, I'd had to replace the front mounting bolt multiple times because it had bent under daily braking loads. Meanwhile R559s on my Sam, which has done some crazy off road fully loaded totally out of spec touring. The brakes themselves flex quite a bit and I've never had a bent mounting bolt.
Something to think about. There is a materials limitation there and it isn't the brake itself. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
