Re: [RBW] Are Paul brakes worth the money?

[rltilley]

I have never used any of Paul’s brakes surprisingly. It’s surprising because I have no problem spending money on things that are better/more advanced than what I need.  For me, I think (maybe wrongly) that I can get 90% of the braking that Paul’s would provide at a fraction of the cost by using other brakes. I have Avid linear pull brakes on my Hubbuhubbuh and have no problem stopping quickly when needed.   The aesthetics are also a factor. The industrial look of most of Paul’s brakes looks out of place on more traditional bikes to me. I think one day I’lll buy a set of Klampers to test them out. I don’t think they will be a revelation compared to the TRP Spykes they would replace on the bike I have in mind but they will definitely look better.

My plan was to upgrade my 2007 Atlantis with Paul brakes and levers. I placed the order only to read later that the brakes are sold per wheel. That’s  more than I wanted to spend. So before I call Rivendell tomorrow morning to cancel I’m wondering how folks feel about these brakes? I would be ordering the linear pull brake with love levers.
