The question has been asked, rightly, Why not calipers? Well, with all the brakes, rims, tires, and fenders that I have put on this bike, I have yet to get the fat-tires-and-fenders thing to work, to the degree of elegance that I imagine.
So, my last-ditch effort will be to use a skinnier tire than I imagined and a skinner fender than I had imagined and a brake that “opens when it closes,” if you know what I mean: Mafac center pulls. I thought that there might be something out there already that I didn’t know about that would avoid my having to get out the hacksaw, the scrap metal and the ball-pein hammer. But lo, that looks like the next step. I’ll post a picture when done, with or without fenders (defeat!).
