Wow - I guess I am the only person who had these brakes and didn't
care for them. I ordered my AHH built with the polished center mount
version of the Racer and found them to be rather problematic. Neither
the folks at Rivendell nor my LBS were able to help with the problems
I was having:
Disclosure: Paul is a good friend of mine.
Regarding the straddle wire, that sounds like a setup problem to me. I
run Paul brakes on a few of my bikes, and that's not a problem with
any of them. In fact, just squeezing the centerpulls by the pads
should release the cable, or close to it. Without
Speaking of Paul's centerpulls, my new-to-me Saluki has the polished
versions. Haven't ridden it yet, still setting it up, but I noticed
this morning the chrome on all of the brake pad fixing post nuts--the
5mm hex domed ones--is flaking off and rusting. Anyone know if those

Buy new brake pads, and you get new nuts. Those aren't a PAUL part,
just part of the brake pad.

I'll be darned. That's clever. I haven't owned a bike with centerpull
brakes in the modern era. (Obviously.) Last centerpulls I had were
Weinmanns, in 1977. :)
Thanks Gino!

Hi Paul,
Do you have any pictures on your website that compare 'silver
anodized' to 'high polish'? Or, can you direct me to pictures of each
type?
Thanks.

Except that in this case, they're not for cantilever brakes, but rather
for centerpulls.

When I apprenticed with a couple different framebuilders, they always
called them 'Bosses' or 'Posts'...

I usually called them something far worse when 'cleaning up' filing
the brazes to smooth.

That is the correct, or one of the correct posts, or bosses. I
interchange the terms but they both mean that thing. True, you won't
be mounting cantilevers on them, but all our brakes use the same
pivot setup that fits on those.
There are several different styles, that one in the picture
