Not just you. My Paul Neo Retros cause fork shudder on my Surly Cross Check. It's one reason I didn't swap those brakes over to the SimpleOne. Although may still swap at a later date. The 720s are fairly good brakes, but they do take some time to set up. Or at least that's how I feel about it now after using V brakes on a number of builds. Even last night was raising the straddle cable on the back of the SImpleOne to get the 720s to work a touch better. Was only able to do that because swapped the rear rack to a Nitto R-14 and there was more room between the stays. Eric Platt St. Paul, MN
