Wow! I see very little space between those mini-motos and the tire. Perhaps that's an effect of the photo. I love Paul Components's stuff in general. I sort of wish the mini-motos had been available when I was building up my first bike. They look so clean! And when I look around I see more choices in short-pull levers than in the long-pull levers required by my (full-sized) Motolites. But I don't complain in general: the Motolites and my Paul Love Levers have been fantastic for me ever since I switched to using them. Very effective. Very confidence-inspiring. Very pretty, too, IMHO. Yours, Thomas Lynn Skean
