May I add my two cents?… I have a Toyo Atlantis and it does not have fork mounts. This fact together with my choice to use Paul Motolites has made it kind of tough to mount a front rack… Again, just a random thought because I didn’t see any fork mounts on your Atlantis… that being said, I am cr

[RBW] Re: Advice on Cantilever Brake Swap for Atlantis with Wider Rims

Bear in mind that your current brake levers will be long pull if they are meant for vbrakes. You may need to change your levers to short pull if switching to cantis. If the rim is too wide for the cantilever stud spacing, it can be a challenge to get optimum braking. I have a touring bike where

Re: [RBW] Advice on Cantilever Brake Swap for Atlantis with Wider Rims

Seconding others’ responses here. You should be able to adjust the spacers so you’re not spreading the brake arms out so much. Unless that model doesn’t have that adjustability. In which case I’d order some DXR or Deore V brakes from Riv that do adjust that way as both work great, and you can k

I ran Paul Neo-Retros on my Atlantis for years and they were fantastic. Got rear ended by a car a while ago and most of the components were totaled (frame & fork were ok). Ran Tektro 720s as a cheap replacement and they were also great. Just splurged on a set of Paul Touring Cantis for the Atla

Re: [RBW] Advice on Cantilever Brake Swap for Atlantis with Wider Rims

I've found that when changing rim widths the brake pad spacing may need to be changed. Usually this can be done by swapping around the spacers on the pad posts. Sheldon puts it better than I can: *Threaded-stud brake shoes with spherical (domed)

Thomas, as others have pointed out Blue Lug has the Silver 2 shifters with barrel adjusters. I have them on my Gus & even with shipping (2yrs. ago) they cost less than the ones from Riv.

[RBW] Re: barrel adjusters with silver shifter thumb mounts?

They're not needed though, as barrel adjusters are for indexing. With friction your cable tension is set once you start with a new cable. If there's any slack after a ride ore two you simply take it up by hand and re-tighten. A barrel adjuster can't do that for you. Even with indexing, those ad
