The hanging cable stop which is usually sandwiched at the top of the headset on a traditional threaded fork. I'm not saying that's the only variable. Pad effectiveness, brake slop on the canti studs and brake leverage all can play a part as well. But, the Paul's brakes don't tend to flex too much, and they have a pretty good leverage. - Jim -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes Gallery updates now appear here - http://cyclofiend.blogspot.com "Nigel did some work for some of the other riders at Allied, onces who still rode metal.
