Gernot,
Your photo and explanation make it very clear. You'e even answered what
would have been my next question about the Harris Cyclery statement "This
can solve a number of problems..."
Thanks,

You can probably get the reach you need with a recessed brake bolt
from a standard road caliper, although the Sheldon nuts may be what
you would want with the fender.

I had the shimano Br 550 cantis and found I could control the squeal,
but setup was aweful and stopping power very poor. After a near death
experience, compliments of shimano, I bought the Neo Retros and have
loved everything about them. I no longer think about buying any other
brand of brake for
That would never work for me. Right now, the Hillborne has Tektro 720
brakes and the front straddle hanger is a good two inches higher than
in that photo. Just slightly under the headbadge.
In that setup, the hanger clears everything, Nitto rack, front fender,
and even the back of the Lil' Loafe

The long bolt goes through your fork crown, and the forged part rises
up from it to accept the cable housing. The idea is that flex between
cantilever bosses and cable hanger are minimized. As braking force is
applied, the forks bend ba
A month or two ago, I studied the picture of item CAH59 for a good 10
minutes, but I never figured out how it worked. Instead I installed a
traditional housing stop on the headset. I'm still curious to know what
CAH59 does An explanation or picture would be great.
Thanks,

I had squealing with BR550s on an Indy Fab Planet X. Finally solved
with massive toe OUT. Toe in didn't do squat.
Have Tektro 720s on my Hillborne. Using a fork crown mounted Tektro
cable hanger, no squeal, without any toe in. Switched to a regular
headset mounted cable hanger, instant squeal, eve
Seth,
I have a set of Mafacs and have the same experience as you...no
squeal.
I have a set of Mafac copies (similar geometry) and they squealed and
vibrated, a toe in adjustment (wrench) and they merely vibrated.
They were quite loose on the cantilever post, the Mafacs are
noticeably tighter. I
Back when I had an Atlantis, it had Paul Touring front and rear.
They'd squeal, adjust toe in, no squeal.
You do have to adjust to the toe in as the pads wear.
I toss the cheesy hangers they come with a get some Mafac
hangers from a 1st class LBS, adds a little humor.
The Cafams are cheaper and loo
yes, all brakes need to be set up correctly to minimize squeal.
Somtimes the fork design can be a factor, but the Rivendell bikes have
pretty beefy forks so that should not be an issue.
I also have had good luck with the Tektro CR720's.

I started with the Paul Touring canti's on my Hillborne. No squealing
right out of the box and they stop very well. Can't say that about the
Avids on my Soma.. always playing with the front. You should also
consider IRD Cafam. Very similar to the Paul neo-retros at a lower
price point... but not M
