Re: [RBW] Touring Front, Neo-Retro Back?

[Victor Hanson]

Sir,

The neo-retro is a very powerful brake.   You  can use is the rear, but it
will over power very thin seat stays, thus you need a brake booster.

Re: [RBW] Touring Front, Neo-Retro Back?

[Artaud]

I have that set up on my Romanceur.
I find that the Neo Retros have better stopping power, but my heels would 
hit them if they were set up in the rear. The Tourings work well enough, 
though, if you prefer your front and rear sets to match.
