[RBW] Re: synergy rims (again?)
That is scary. I just ordered a set of synergy rims for a new build. I would suggest advising the wheel builder and then contacting Velocity. I think Velocity would want to clear up your case quickly, especially being your second OC rim. Good customer service would only benefit Velocity and this group should be on their radar.

[RBW] Brake reach for 47cm Soma San Marcos
Hello All, I planning a new San Marcos build for my wife and want to go with center pull brakes based on their reported better modulation. After reading the specs, flyer information and viewing this http://www.cyclesymphony.com/blog/?p=914 build with Riv Silver 73mm dual pivot brakes, there seems to be a possibility that center pulls may not reach. The photos show the rear brake pads extended as low as possible and the front pads as high as possible. I would like to build the San Marcos with Paul Racer's and am not opposed to using different front and rear brakes as I feel the front brake pad in the link looks to be not ideal, pushed to the top of the opening. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Scott -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
