I don't think that the Mini-Moto will gain you much clearance, realistically. Mud clearance, yes. Stopping power, perhaps. For more clearance you'd be better off with the Moto-lites or the more traditional cantis. However, with the Moto-lites you'd have to get the correct pull levers.
I personally LOVE the Mini-Moto and if I got another bike with canti posts, I'd use them in a heartbeat if they cleared the tires. I had them on my SimpleOne and they cleared Nomad Resist 700x45 tires. No fenders, probably could have fit with some rubbing of the wire. -J On Sunday, August 30, 2015 at 5:08:14 PM UTC-7, Michael Hechmer wrote: > > I have decide to get our tandem repainted over the winter and as part of > that am considering moving from the Paul's Racer (studded) brakes to either > Mini Motos or Neo Retros.
