It's good for big-foot heel clearance, too. I have Tektro 720s on the front of my Quickbeam, and the original low-profile brakes on the rear. The rear CR720s hit my foot sometimes, so I switched that brake back to stock. I'd call the CR720s pretty (I like the look more than the Pauls), and adequate with a high straddle carrier and Kool Stop pads. I'd do Patrick's Paul setup, but I gathered from list eavesdropping that it's hard to make the M12 rack work with them. And I love that rack.
