Yup. I only went to the longer bolt set up after striping out VO canto-rack bolts cause they didn’t provide enough spacing.
I have a set of the Paul rack mount bolts I'd sell for cheap if you are interested. They didn't work out for me.
Best, Scott
Essentially the procedure, whether using chainring bolts or non-threaded spacers, is just repace Paul's supplied M6 bolt with a bolt long enough to clear whatever I'm using for spacers plus the rack stay itself. Seems simple enough. Thank you.

You could also use any extra chainring bolts that you might have laying around instead of buying spacers. I have shimano v-brakes and a VO rack, but your setup should be similar. Longer allen bolts definitely needed, not sure how long mine are tho. Looks like I used a washer at head of bolt too.![IMG_0480.JPG]() On Tuesday, August 8, 2023 at 7:09:26 AM UTC-7 S. Greco wrote:
Yes, a longer M6 is needed to make up whatever additional length is added with the spacer.Thanks, Steven. So I'd just need a longer M6 screw along with these spacers? The Touring Cantis have a 20 mm screw, so I'd need something like an M6x40?

I recommend using spacers instead of the rack adapters. The rack adapters are heavy, and they make it annoying to adjust the brakes. I used 'Aluminum Unthreaded Spacers" from McMaster-Carr do to this with a nitto rack/Paul anti setup and it made it much easier to work on the brakes.
You'll be able to fit a rack with adjustable stays (like Nitto M-18, F-27 or Rene Herse UD-2, etc) better to the bike.
Does anyone here have experience mounting a Nitto M12, or any front rack that attaches to the cantilever-brake bolts, to Paul brakes (either Touring Cantis or Neo-Retros)? If so, is there anything I'm unlikely to know but should before starting? (I am aware that I'll want Paul's Rack Adapters.)
I have a vague, possibly faulty, recollection of caution somewhere that the process is difficult because Paul brakes extend farther forward from the bosses than other cantilever brakes.
Thank you.
