Thank you Marty for sharing. I'm about to go out and get some orange touch
up paint for my Quickbeam now. The touring brakes came yesterday and the
mini-motos should be here later in the week.

Thanks; come to think of it, I had a pair of these as well but found them
too cramped. The CC or Tektros were more comfortable but are made from a
lot of plastic.
I think I'll stick to my old Dura Ace levers and Paul cantis.

DIa Compe 287V still seems to be readily available.

I think there's one call for Motolites in this thread so I'm throwing down
a second one. They're great, I love them, they should be the only brakes on
all bikes. Is what I'm saying.

On my Quickbeam, the only Paul braking bits I've got are green Moon Units.
I have used the Neo-Retro / Touring setup on another bike, and switched to
Minimotos due to brake judder. I've never had judder on my Quickbeam. As
Mark said, regular road levers work with both minimotos and cantis.

Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences with Paul brakes. I do like
the way the brake cable connects to the minimotos, same as a v-brake, no
cable hanger required. I'm planning to have a small front rack. I'll have
to make sure the rack tang doesn't interfere with the brake cable as it

one caveat, i recently swapped out front racks, and the new one has a fork
tang thats a little higher, requiring a very long straddle cable, braking
has been fine but in my mind feels a little less stopping power.

John - I like the combination very much, but I don't think it is
significantly *better* than other brake set-ups, and do not necessarily
champion this set-up over others. I went this route because (a) I, too,
felt bad leaving the QB brake stop bridge hanging out all alone, and (b)
had another
If you aren't doing fenders then I vote Minimotos. I was able to
comfortably fit Snoqualmie's with VO Zeppelin 52mm fenders on my Simpleone,
but in that scenario you definitely need cantis.
I have the Minimoto up front and Touring Canti in the rear set up on a
different single speed (one that
another vote for the touring Canti rear/ Neo retro front set up, I had it
on my simple one and now on my QB and love the power modulation and look...
its a stunner

Thank you everyone for the tips/advice. I'm not planning to have a rear
rack on this bike, so the brake arm extension isn't an issue. Also I may or
may not mount the fenders that I have, my Crust LB-canti has them so not a
priority to have them on the QB.
Patch, so how do you like the
I use Paul's Touring on the rear and Minimotos on the front on my QB.
The Minimotos clear a VO Smooth 45mm fender just fine.
I agree that not using the canti stop bridge on the rear is a little sad,
but one could get creative and mount a light there if you preferred to run
a Minimoto on the
When I was starting my design process for Paul braking my Quickbeam
everyone said to put touring on the rear.
I measured my heel clearance and decided for my bike and fit, that touring
would be unnecessary and neo-retro's would clear fine.
However, a set of used touring in my preferred color came
Since the Quickbeam has a nice, built-in cable hanger at the rear (whereas
the Simple One relies on an ad-on hanger installed at the seatpost clamp
bolt), I think it's nice to use canti brakes. Just my opinion. I had wide
profile brakes, like the neo-retro, both front and rear on my Quickbeam
Why not do the motolite V brakes ? I bet they rock

Also depends on if you want to run fenders. I don't think the minimotos
have all that much clearance depending on tire size.

John,
The Paul Minomotos are actually short-pull calipers, so you can use the same
short-pull levers that you would use with the touring/neo-retro cantilevers.
The Paul Motolites are the ones that use long-pull levers.
