This is the piece that strikes me from this whole thread. Having a somewhat higher yoke will give you more leverage at the rim, but it also increases lever travel (that's the geometric tradeoff that Sheldon describes). You might have it high enough that the levers can't pull enough cable (which would explain the travel agent recommendation). I'd get a new rear cable (since you cut yours short), and start with a very low straddle wire and see if that works - if so, adjust it upward to get an acceptable balance between cable pull and braking power. I'm surprised that the Silver sidepulls didn't work well though, which makes me suspect something's off about the levers. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
