I've also been using the Silvers on my Rom and now on the custom.
I'm very happy with the Silvers, to me they compare favorably to any brakes I've used. Of course I grew up on single pivot campy super record brakes that had some sort of legalistic disclaimer that they were 'speed modulators' or something to that effect. The Silvers are way better than ancient 'speed modulators'. I'll confess to drooling over Paul centerpulls. They are mechanical objects-d'art to my eye. -JimD On Nov 24, 2008, at 9:15 AM, CycloFiend wrote: > > on 11/23/08 4:03 PM, MichaelH at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >> The AHH long reach brakes are economical, but once you spring for >> that much of a frame, the price of a set of Paul's cantis is small >> and >> will out perform the silver brakes, so I question Grant's decision to >> invest so much of his design effort around that brake selection. > > I've been finding that while using the Silvers on my Hilsen in "C. > Xavier" > mode, that I have to conciously use less pressure on the levers in > most > circumstances, as I keep slowing down much quicker than with canti's. > > It's been causing me to question what has been a long and happy > relationship > with cantilever brakes. > > - Jim > > -- > Jim Edgar > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com > Current Classics - Cross Bikes > Singlespeed - Working Bikes > Workshops of the iBob's > > Send In Your Photos! - Here's how: http://www.cyclofiend.com/ > guidelines > > > "My nighttime attitude is anyone can run you down and get away with > it. > That's why I don't even own a bike light or one of those godawful > reflective > suits.
