Thanks Phil, but I can't open that link. I'm currently finishing up a big home improvement project then expecting to be away for two weeks, so not moving forward on bike projects with any speed. For now I have implemented the spacer solution. When I return from vacation I will offer my Ebis

In case it matters to your decision making process, the mini can probably carry a lot more weight. Gernot -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

Perhaps have a mechanic friend look at how they are set up. I have them on two bikes, 4 years on one, 2 years on the other, with zero adjustments since the initial set up. I love these brakes. Gernot -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bun

Oh, yes! If your 'luki has the mid-fork braze-ons and you have a Nitto Mini rack already, absolutely go that route. On Monday, March 18, 2013 3:24:50 PM UTC-7, Michael Hechmer wrote: > > Thanks for all the help; it both clarified the issues and lifted me out of > a stuck place. > > I had thou

Thanks for all the help; it both clarified the issues and lifted me out of a stuck place. I had thought about the spacer solution, but living out in the boonies I thought tracking down an M5x35 allen head bolt and a 20 mm spacer seemed unlikely. As luck would have it, I had to go into "town" (

It would be cool if you could get the canti-post struts separately so you could run a Mark's Rack with the canti-post mounting, but still had adjustable struts so you could accommodate high-stack brakes, like the Pauls. Unfortunately, it looks like you can only buy those struts in 70mm an 120m

Michael, sorry I can't help, but you've helped me. I have the same brakes and rack on my daughter's bike. I don't like the Tektros much, because they seem to require too much attention - they have to be adjusted every time the weather changes. I was thinking about the Pauls, but you've convi

I tend to fall in the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" camp. I would keep the Tektros and put the Pauls on something else. On Sunday, March 17, 2013 5:28:17 PM UTC-7, Michael Hechmer wrote: > I recently bought an almost new Saluki, advertised on this site. There > should have been a bidding wa
