Pete,
Not directly answering your question, but a couple of mechanic's
troubleshooting tips. Are you you 100% positive that it is the caliper
itself? Sometimes the ends of the canti bosses get a little bit of flare,
and a high quality (one with tight tolerances, little play) caliper will
Steel cup'd Tange bottom brackets are available here, if you decide to go
that route. I've used them--they're good.

Robert *is* on vacation, and Jenny, our new shipper, is doing a great
job of keeping up with the flow of orders after only a few weeks on
the job.
Monday, she packed and shipped 60 orders by herself. Apologies for the
too big box, but under the circumstances, I'd rather she get the boxes
out the
60 orders in one day! That's some serious throughput. As much as I enjoy
picking up my stuff in person, now I'm tempted to have you ship so I can
see Jenny learn the art from the master. What's the trickiest thing to
ship? A bullmoose bar?

I've had King and White. Both provide excellent performance and

biking and they have endured hard usage without trouble. The
ratcheting of the King freehub is very loud, and I could see it being
annoying for some. The White is

If the Hope is even louder, then like whoa.
In my shopping for fancy rear hubs I had made my mind up on the White,
especially for how nicely it complements a SON delux up front.

I have a set of CKs from a few years ago and they are still really
loud, the sound is also high-pitched, so buzzing bees is a good
description.

FWIW, you couldn't give me a Chris King. The hubs are all over Portland.
Too loud, too NASCAR. The WI, which came to me through purchase of a used
bike, I find pleasant in both looks and sound. It is also incredibly
smooth. It spins down a stop like no other wheel I've owned.

I built up a 650B wheelset using a SON delux front hub and a used Deore XT
hub that I got from ebay. Turns out that the 90's era XT rear hub had a
non-original freehub body on it. When I put a cassette on it, the largest
cog hit the spokes. I did a bit of comparison with my other wheels with
Many thousands of trouble-free miles on White hubs (MI5, H2, H3, etc). Not

I had a set of Hope disc hubs... too noisy for me. Same with Kings. The

I have a set of King-built Bontrager hubs from 1999. They came on the
Privateer, and they're one reason I got the startling orange and blue

The rear hub has been adjusted exactly once, and both hubs still turn
like new. They are strong, attractive (to me), with
