I'm just getting ready to install 60mm Giles Berthoud stainless
fenders over 50mm Marathon Supremes (same dimension as the Big
Apples). Sure look like they'll fit.
Worked for me.

Hello Folks,
Is anyone able to compare the Tektro mtb-style levers for cantis
offered by Riv to those offered by VO? I have the VO set and the
mechanical advantage seems to be lower than the drop bar levers I
replaced. Also, there is a bit of play in the pivot. Is the Riv
offering any
Ginz,
I'm using Paul Canti Levers on one of my bikes. Sorta spendy, but
worth every penny: http://www.paulcomp.com/cantilever.html

That's what Mark uses. When I needed some I just asked him and he
gave a small handful to me. I was picking up a frameset at the time
so maybe that was the reason they were free. Call them up and I'm
sure they will get you some for a small price.

Never had them but always thought Cantis used normal short pull
levers.
In any event, I believe Tektro makes the VO levers along with some of
the other small brands. Dia Compe make their own.

I'm looking to put a 14X9X9.5 basket on the front of my Quickbeam, and
I'm trying to decide which Nitto rack to use to support it - either
the mini-front or two-strut toprack. My main concern is the weight
limit of the mini-front, as I prefer the minimalist aesthetics of it,
but I don't wan to
The mini-front is totally bomber. Do not hesitate for a second
putting 20 lbs of books on a basket on a Nitto mini front. Does your
quickbean have the mid fork braze-ons? even better if it does. Then
you can massively upgrade the capacity with a Platrack for special
occasions. What a bonanza!
I use Cane Creek flat top levers (for canti's) on one bike. They work
well and are solidly constructed.
I use the Tektro levers a Surly Big Dummy, running v-brakes and discs.
They are good levers that work with v's and traditional canti's. No
issues.

What would be a good vintage model to look for on eBay? Suntour?
Shimano?
If you can find a good pair of Dia Compes, I would go with them over
Suntour or Shimano. Vintage Campy calipers tend not to stop your bike
(but sure look good not doing anything). On the other hand, the
levers are very

I agree with most of your points to the original poster. I've loaded
my QB with the Nitto mini/basket with some pretty hefty loads and it
works great. I'm a college professor, so I can relate to carrying
loads of books. The one point I think you've incorrectly stated is

in my opinion.

Well, that follows--Grant's stated that in support of the wheelsize he'll carry
every 650b tire he can (that will fit Riv products presumably, since he does
not carry the really fat knobbies).

that look very similar. I can find out model number if you're
On the other hand, the levers are very good (if pricey).
Should also add the Campy Record Mtb levers are almost impossible to
find in any event.

Curious. I guess absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Shimano gets its share of lumps for drive trains. Their brakes and
levers have always been very highly regarded, if perhaps a bit on the
vanilla side of appearance. Probably easier

The Cane Creek Flat Top lever looks to be the same as my Tektro-
branded lever from VO with the quick release and all.
Maybe I'll try playing with the straddle cable and see if I can't get
better action out of mine. I still don't like the play that is in the
lever pivot.

Thanks y'all, just placed the order for the mini-front. I think I will

The only Campy ones I remember were the plastic levers from the first

Not sure of the model names. Mid 80s. They look a lot like the
Shimanos in your earlier link. A little less delicate, however.
