I'm always surprised by posts from people that have difficulty setting up Pau's brakes or have difficulty with modulation.
I too had the Shimano 550s and found that they were very difficult to set up with Shimano levers (better with Cane Creek) and even with salmon pads offered mediocre braking. I switched to Neos. Set up, the first time was tricky, because it was so different from any other brake I had ever used. ( A youtube video would be helpful.) I put them on my Ebisu All Purpose and they have been terrific. I now can move them and set them up very quickly, get great power, great modulation, no shutter or squeal. Since then I have put Racers on the tandem and Racer Ms on the Rambouillet. If I were having the kind of problems so people report, I would contact Paul's; I'm sure they would want to help Michael On Friday, May 4, 2012 6:46:00 AM UTC-4, newenglandbike wrote: > > I tried shimano 550s and was disappointed, I'll never go back to > low-profile brakes.
