I had DC 750 centerpulls on my "side-pull" Sam for a while. (Pics are around here somewhere. Will post) They worked really well, looked nice (i'm a sucker for symmetry) and cleared a 45mm fender and 35mm Pasela with ease. The rear cable hanger must be improvised, obviously, so I used one of the Nitto ones that Riv sells.
Bike has gone through a few iterations since and now has Tektro sidepulls. They both work. I'm currently more fond of the less-hardware look of the sidepulls, but that's just changing tastes. -Pete in CT On Friday, February 22, 2013 1:28:45 PM UTC-5, Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery wrote: > > It is good looking.
