Re: [RBW] FS: Paul Racer Brakes

Racers have the correct reach for a 700c to 650b conversion --- if your 700c Riv had relatively tight clearance. For example, my Riv Road Standard barely was designed for short-reach brakes and barely cleared a 700 x 28 tire. The 57-67 mm reach of the Paul Racer is perfect for this application.
