That brake is absolute shit.
You used to said that cantilevers was shit, and now you swear by then.
The R559 are more than enough.

fair .. but I did everything I could with R559, swisstop pads, compression-less etc. Never felt the power.

The levers and rims also make a difference too.

Great info scolbes. The 559 is what I was originally looking at, but amey's and other's low opinions of them made me doubt. I guess probably worth a crack for £40.
What frame is that? Soma mixte? Looks ideal.

Other forms of media accepted?
anyhoo, dickin around on my functional..
note the wheel's (lack of) rotation, and watch the frame/ fork flex like hella. Nothin like 1" forks and old titanium :D

TBH they're not the most amazing brakes in the world, but they stop me fairly well without resorting to really pulling on the levers.
Yup, Soma Mixte, traditional frame work best when the tubing haven't been curved (e.g. like those with an hourglass stay).

yeah.. you pulled the brakes.. that makes your wheels lack rotation..

Fuck cunti brakes mini v if you got to use rim brakes.
-
• #13887
I missed the point too, can you explain? I want to see on larger screen (phone only now) to better see the flex... Are they steel forks? And are you clipped in?

Is that the new Paul brakes?

Sure! Hadnt given it much thought tbh, but i guess i think its kinda interesting to see how the frame, fork, tires and rack reacts when landing after having locked the wheels in the air. Both when stopping and starting the rotation of the wheels.
Yea your right its not clear on a phone screen, which is also why i mentioned to note the wheels. A computer screen should show it better with the quality set to 720p and 60fps.
Yup its a 1" surly crosscheck fork and flat mtb pedals.
