[RBW] Re: Paul Touring cantilever performance versus Paul Neo Retro

I run Paul Canti brakes on a number of bikes. The touring brake model should be more powerful than the Neo-Retro when you account for both the angle of the arms and the yoke angle. As such, the greater mechanical advantage of the Neo-Retro arm is offset by the lower mechanical advantage of the

Not to derail too hard, but on the topic of Suntour Superbe brakes, I happen to be selling a 1st gen Suntour Superbe group (brakes, levers, DT shifters, FD, RD) and a campagnolo crankset in case anybody needs the parts to build up this frameset. $300+ship if anyone is interested. Erik, Philly O

[RBW] Paul Touring cantilever performance versus Paul Neo Retro

I started out with Neo Retros front and rear, found that the rears intefered with panniers, and switched to Touring in the rear. I can't really say that the front is more powerful than the rear; both have very stiff housing hangers -- rear is brazed on, front is Rene Herse. Others who have used b

I think of burro as a small donkey, and I think of both of them being smarter, and more cautious than horses. They are definitely cute. Burros in particular can pull off a hat/bandanna ensemble that would knock your socks off. IMO BL in EC On Monday, July 22, 2024 at 6:50:57 PM UTC-7 Bicycl
