Re: [RBW] Paul Brakes -- Wow!
im glad to hear they are working out. The dual compound mountain pads help reduce shudder, and of course toe in, not sure if you just left them like I had them or not but I had them toed in when I sent them out. Is your cable hanger on the crown or on the headset? it made a pretty big difference on my bombadil when I got the crown hanger.

[RBW] Paul Brakes -- Wow!
Thanks to Peter for the new to me brakes, I just replaced the Tektro (720?) brakes (whatever was stock) on the Quickbeam with Paul Touring canti in the rear and Neo-Retro front. I still have a bit of adjusting to do with saddle cable length on the front, but Wow! What a difference! Absolutely amazing difference on my very short test ride (though I did a very steep section and they handled the down hill beautifully!). Smoother, steadier, more solid. The install a feeling of confidence. I like that in a brake. Grin.

Re: [RBW] Paul Brakes -- Wow!
If lengthening the straddle cable from what's shown in this photo made your brakes work better for you thats great, and I wouldn't dream of claiming you were mistaken about it. However it's also a fact that lengthening that cable reduces the mechanical advantage (i.e. leverage) of the brake. So increased leverage was not the reason you liked the change. It's great that your new to you Paul brakes work so well. Congrats. On Thursday, February 19, 2015 at 6:13:31 PM UTC-8, Deacon Patrick wrote: Oops.

Re: [RBW] Paul Brakes -- Wow!
Here's a photo of the old brake set up (as I got it, I greatly lengthened the saddle cable to get better leverage.) But it shows the cable hanger location. My previous brakes were Salmon only compound, but that has worked great on my Hunqapillar. I needed to adjust the brake pad alignment quite a bit.

Re: [RBW] Paul Brakes -- Wow!
How very interesting. What do you think is making the difference? Same or different pads on each type of brake? Of course the old ones were set up normally, right? In any case, I'm glad the new ones are working so well for you. :) Aaron Young The Dalles, OR On Thursday, February 19, 2015, Deacon Patrick lamontg...@mac.com wrote: No brake judder in the initial wee test, and there would have been with the Tektros on that same test.
