If I had gone with 6mm shorter arms, the brake cable would likely have hung up on/over/under the rack bolt. Here's a picture of the cable coming over my rack, you can see how close it is. These are the 90mm RX6 arms.

And shorter arms means better performance with "normal" pull levers. - Andrew, Berkeley On Sunday, November 10, 2013 10:06:23 PM UTC-8, Jim Bronson wrote: > > The Tektro RX6 is not the mini(est)-V model.
