Re: [RBW] Re: Paul Racers on a Cheviot?

[Joe Bernard]

Another funny anecdote from my brakes convo with Will is he wasn't 
convinced the Racer stopped any harder than a 559. Of course we're talking 
about a young man who rides impossibly steep trails at Mt. Diablo on a 
2-speed Mixte with road brakes. I think Will can hop on anything and make 
it go and stop without ever noticing how he did it! 

 There can be some very good reasons for using a centerpull on the front 
 and a sidepull on the rear: 
 1. Centerpulls generally give more clearance which is almost always a 
 bigger issue on the front than the rear. Especially true with fenders.
 2. Sidepulls sometimes fit better on the rear, especially on mixte type 
 frames with offset cable stops - I try not to clamp things to by frame 
 unless there is no other way. On my Rosco Bubbe V1, there is insufficient 
 distance from a cable hanger to the straddle cable to use a center pull.
 3. You don't really need the additional baking power of a centerpull on 
 the rear, locking up the rear wheel is not the fastest way to stop.

 I run the Dia-Compe DC610-N centerpull front, Tektro R559 sidepull rear 
 combo on both my Rosco Bubbe and Betty Foy.

Re: [RBW] Re: Paul Racers on a Cheviot?

[RichS]

Hello Justin:

Another vote for the centerpull front / R559 sidepull rear setup. Works 
very nicely on my Sam. The centerpull provided better clearance for a front 
fender. 
Adding to the props for Paul Racers, they will definitely stop you NOW.

Best,
Rich in ATL

 I noticed on Will's Staff Bikes page that he has a Paul Racer on this 
 Chev 
 
  
 but only up front. Guessing it's because the rear geometry wouldn't allow 
 a 
 hanger placement for a center pull?  

 Has anyone else used this set up? Do Paul Racers have clearance for 
 700c x 50mm tires? The tires in Will's pic look pretty wide and he's 
 running a fender too so it seems like there would be plenty of room. 
 Thoughts?

Re: [RBW] Re: Paul Racers on a Cheviot?

[Tom Wyland]

Ive seen this done with other Cheviots as well.  You can put that cable 
stop much closer to the seat tube, though.  I guess with the guides on the 
bottom of the top tube you'll need to put on a dia-comp housing holder or 
something similar to run it along the top.

 I noticed on Will's Staff Bikes page that he has a Paul Racer on this 
 Chev 
 
  
 but only up front. Guessing it's because the rear geometry wouldn't allow 
 a 
 hanger placement for a center pull?  

 Has anyone else used this set up? Do Paul Racers have clearance for 
 700c x 50mm tires? The tires in Will's pic look pretty wide and he's 
 running a fender too so it seems like there would be plenty of room. 
 Thoughts?

Re: [RBW] Re: Paul Racers on a Cheviot?

[Justin Kennedy]

Thanks, Jeff. Right after I posted this, I found this old pic from Adam

who had Racers on front and rear and I can see here where the clamp-on
cable stop could work for the rear. (Adam seems to have pretty wide tires
on this too, maybe 50's.) I guess the earlier Cheviots had housing stops on
the top side of the diaga-tube rather than the bottom.

Thinking I'll give this a shot.

[RBW] Re: Paul Racers on a Cheviot?

['Je Mar' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Oh and I ran Schwalbe Road Cruisers which (I think we're x44) and my 
recollection was that they had to be taken down a bit for removal, but 
clearance was way fine when riding.  This is a sketchier recollection, I 
should add.

[RBW] Re: Paul Racers on a Cheviot?

['Je Mar' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Hi Justin,

I ran Paul Racer's on my Chev (thanks, Jon Dukeman of CO!) for awhile 
before I picked up some R559s.  Riv sells a little clamp-on cable stop (tho 
i don't see it on the site now) that can be mounted down near the pump peg 
(if I recall correctly) to accept the housing to work with Racers.  I'm 
only a hack-plus wrench and I was able to do it, so I imagine the more 
gifted among us would have no probs.

Good luck,
Jeff in Arlington, VA
