Hi Justin, I ran Paul Racer's on my Chev (thanks, Jon Dukeman of CO!) for awhile before I picked up some R559s. Riv sells a little clamp-on cable stop (tho i don't see it on the site now) that can be mounted down near the pump peg (if I recall correctly) to accept the housing to work with Racers. I'm only a hack-plus wrench and I was able to do it, so I imagine the more gifted among us would have no probs.
Good luck, Jeff in Arlington, VA On Wednesday, February 10, 2021 at 9:34:03 AM UTC-5 Justin Kennedy (Brooklyn, NY) wrote: > I've used Tektro R559's on my Cheviot from the start but was recently > considering upgrading to something different due to a slight but annoying > mechanical issue on the front caliper.
