The Pauls do not feel like dual pivots, they are squishy. When I switch back to dual pivot braked bike the brakes feel too abrupt, I have to remember to use a lighter touch. The straddle wire that came with the brakes was to stiff and the straddle carrier was cheesy. I use a Mafac straddle carrier and more flexible straddle carrier without the lozenge shaped bit. You want to minimize the brake take up. > One thing I really don't understand is that variables the spring > tension effects? You need enough spring tension so the brakes retract completely from the rims, the springs are also used to center the brakes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
