Tektro had some "long arm" V brakes that were designed for use with
fenders. I think they are Tektro 857AL. I saw them at my LBS and should
have bought them. I quick search found they were discontinued.
Maybe Ebay search will fins something.

I bought some rebranded Tektro 857AL (120mm arms) recently - sold under the
CON-TEK brand from Hollandbikeshop.com. They were intended for Beach
Cruisers.

I’ve had the same issues. I managed to get my Paul motolites to go under the
rack arm, but they still “clicked” when one side inevitably ran into it.
Minimotos solved the issue for me, but obviously not a cheap solution. If you’d
like to buy some Purple Paul cantis, now, I probably know a guy! :
Thanks for all the info everybody and especially the chart of arm lengths.

Looks wonderful.
I'm curious as to the design decision in moving to 700C/622 BSD for the
55cm model. Thoughts?
With the move to canti/V-posts, I'm guessing that there's clearance for
wider tires. Perhaps the recommended PBH would be moved higher for the
models?

I like the look of the fancy Cheviot. The swoopy seat stay is graceful.
It continues the line of the top tube through the seat post to the rear

Funny that the topic of V-brakes has come up just now. Braking has been the
Achilles' heel of my Hunq. I've tried Paul Neo-Retros and Touring cantis
(currently equipped) and even after extensive fiddling informed by
Sheldon's articles they still don't work to my satisfaction, especially
under load
Thanks for the Edgevale link - I just ordered one of their herringbone
chambray shirts, and we'll see how it works out.
As mentioned upthread, it really is possible to go down a rabbit hole with
reproduction workwear - I had no idea! So far I've received shirts from
Gustin and Buzz Rickson's, and
I like the way the midstays separate ahead of the seattube. On the current
frame the toptube ends in a lug, then the midstays begin from sockets rearward
of the seattube.

I had a similar question when I ran a rack like that on my Hunq. I ended up
using some new XT v-brakes I got from Riv and they worked great. I ran the
cable under the rack though. It fit perfect and I had room for 29x2.35 tires
with fenders.

No, tubular does not mean tubeless.
Tubulars, aka 'sewups', have the tire and tube sewn together as a single
unit. It is glued onto a special rim made for the purpose. Tubulars are
considered racing tires, and are considered kind of old school. Everything
