Yeah, when it comes to brakes I know more expensive isn't always worth

The main concern for rims at your weight is sufficient width for such fat
tires. FWIW, the stock rims on my Monocog 29er, which came with 2.35 WTB

outside. They worked fine. (I now have 45 mm wide rims, but I went to this
Without evidence to the contrary, I'm basically
postulating the motolites are top-tier linear pulls. And of course
they look stunning.
Not the easiest brakes in the world to install, but very easy to
maintain and adjust once installed. Powerful, yet light and with
excellent modulation. Good

It doesn't matter if the hub is centered on the axle exactly. The rim
is centered between the flanges, and the cone nuts will always be a

I think the important thing here is the fact that Paul brakes all have

good bit farther from the fork than the Tektros. The top cap of the
