  • Wait your Oak is center pull? The bike went up a notch in my book :)
    I might get Rychtarski brazed on for center pulls if its possible (and cheap) .. do Dia Compe 610 work or do you have to have those nice but pricey Paul racers?

  • Just wait a while before you decided to modified the Rychtarski, spend all winter riding with the 42mm tyres and developed a thick skin from the ribbing of the club riders about it.

    The Paul Racer use cantilever mount*, not centerpull, Dia Compe 610 required centerpull mount.

    *to clarify, I mean the mount itself is the same as cantilever/v brakes, but positioned for centerpull.

  • Yep thats the plan; I had a rear brake-less ride yesterday around the block and loved the feel! There is temporary road surface atm where I live which didnt feel a thing compared to 80psi 25mm schwalbe one that I am riding everyday.

    Yeah I know about the position as mentioned here: http://www.paulcomp.com/shared/instructions/racer.pdf

    Paul come in 2 versions center pull and canti mount; the only difference is the back plate which is removable. Which is also interesting as Shimano direct mount and standard calipers are the same with a back plate pic one pic two

    What straddle is that?

  • I have some tektro cantis, and the yoke has two screws that pinch the cable once you've set the 'center' balance on the arms, so that it pulls evenly.

    Ive been wondering if this is needed, and if a yoke with a pulley like the one on those centerpull would allow the brakes to balance themselves?
