Tony, that saddle would develop a worse ridge by tightening the nose screw. Only hope would be lacing it. On Sunday, December 11, 2016 at 9:29:09 PM UTC-6, Tony DeFilippo wrote: > > >

There is a lot going on with tire sizes, but it's so much, and is such a combination of obvious simplicity and actual and made up complication and opionion, that the only way to talk about it, the only way I could, would -- well, it requires being able to type three overlapping words at a time,

Marty, I believe the brake cable braze-ons are positioned with the Tektro (or other?) sidepull brakes in mind. I think that is what Rivendell will tell you, at least that is what they told me. A centerpull brake will definitely work on the front but the rear is where the creativity comes in
