Well then. Looking at the bolts that are included with the various extenders they do appear to be a much larger diameter than the bolts that the brakes themselves mount with. On Friday, March 28, 2025 at 4:09:38 PM UTC-4 Bill Lindsay wrote: > iamkeith recommended the use of brake post exten

[RBW] Brake pad range like Paul Motolite, but not as much $$?

Hi, Has anyone come across long-pull brakes with a fairly large range for where you place the brake pads that aren't as expensive as Paul Motolites? My specific application is putting 700c wheels on a Clem that's meant for 650b wheels, so I need another 15mm or so past what most V-brakes allow.

Re: [RBW] Re: Bike Life Lately

Hey Kim, Atlanta is hillier than one might imagine, and there's lots of trails to explore between here and Athens. The wide range gearing and big tires are very useful! My Appa has RH 48mm tires and with how poorly some of the roads are maintained here I'd not go much smaller than 40mm tires in

Re: [RBW] Re: 650b conversion of 700c canti bike

Interesting adapter. Bernard, if you give them a try please post an evaluation of how they perform. I'm wondering if they might produce a judder or squeal, especially on the fork. I have an older 700c canti touring bike that I'd love to mount 650Bs on so I can swap tires and wheels between it

[RBW] Re: 650b conversion of 700c canti bike

I have no experience or wisdom to share but, unless the brake posts were mounted unusually low and you could use the adjustability of Paul Motolites or similar, it seems the process would have to start with using a pair of these extenders in the opposite manner from which they were intended. C
