What kind of Kool Stop pads are giving you grief? I have Oryx brakes
up with the Eagle2's and they seem to work fine. I used a nickel on

On my Allrounder, I just replaced cheap crappy (crappy as in they
didn't stop the bike, crappy) Gnashbar cantis with Tektro Oryx with
their black pad. I tried to toe them in slightly as I adjusted the
brake pad position during installation. I fully expected to spend some
time fiddling with the
Does denatured alcohol have any deleterious effect on tire rubber?

Denatured alcohol (cheap at any hardware or paint store) and a cast off
