Re: [RBW] Tektro R559 vs. Dia-Compe 750 centerpulls.

I gotta protest this rim brakes don't work in the rain thing. It sure sucks if the rims are steel, but with alloy, you just need to give a quick pre-squeeze or two to clear the water off. Perhaps in a true emergency situation you will lose a critical second or two, but I find when riding in

Acorn boxy rando bag, shows moderate use, but still perfectly functional. In ranger tan, with the turn buckles on the rear pockets, just like the one currently listed on their website. Is fitted with, and I will include, a decaleur from Velo Orange for 1" threaded stems. For threadless setups,

Thanks. Yes, I read that a while back, may have been posted here on another thread. My favorite line: It has an integral chainstay bridge, and uses a slightly lighter seat tube, and the combo saves about 3 ounces, or about the same amount of weight you'd lose by spitting five times and cutting

[RBW] Re: Tektro R559 vs. Dia-Compe 750 centerpulls.

IMHO they're both speed adjusters rather than brakes. The CPs are a tad mushier in response, but look nicer and allow more room for fenders particularly at the fork bridge. On Thursday, January 25, 2018 at 4:16:48 PM UTC-5, lum gim fong wrote: > > Any opinions from those who have used both on

I had a 53cm Roadeo in Orange that I built up using fairly light weight parts and it was under 20 lbs...like 19.5 lbs if I remember correctly. It may have been a bit less but I wound up selling it when I bought a Trek Emonda SL6, which came in at 16 lbs with the same Rolf wheelset. Off the top

Thanks for posting the article. My plan at this time is that a Roadeo would be next bike for the kind of riding it is intended for. It would replace my vintage aluminum Trek 1000 which I got for a very good price. It's good bike, lively and responsive, but the ride can be harsh compared to my

Re: [RBW] Tektro R559 vs. Dia-Compe 750 centerpulls.

Paul centerpulls have no mush, outside of the cables/housing. Paul CP arms are much stiffer than Dia-Compe/Weinmanns. In my opinion, the flexiness of the R559 brake arms was somewhere between the Paul and DC centerpulls. However, any rim brake can feel mushy if you have excessive toe-in,
