I'm assuming (hoping) this is a simple setup issue... I've recently installed Paul brakes (neo-retro front, touring rear) on my relatively new to me 700c All-Rounder. The rears are wonderful, if not too powerful... I can skid at will. However, I'm experiencing extreme shudder and fork flex on the front.
The headset is tight and the pads are toe'd to contact forward. Under low to medium speed braking, I can see/feel the fork flex (a lot!) and shudder. The straddle cable is set at about the top third of the lower headset cup. I've cleaned the rim and while it has gotten slightly better with use, is this a matter of adjustment or is the neo- retro too powerful? One thing I noticed during installation is that the Paul brakes sit a good bit higher on the studs than the Shimano's they replaced. Could this be contributing to the flex in the mounting studs and/or fork? Any experience/advice is appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
