[RBW] Re: Cantilever Brakes on a Clementine?

2016-01-28 Thread Zed Martinez 
I'm running cantilevers on my 52cm Clem just fine. The original concept 
spec for the Clems also said either V or cantis worked great on it. I'm 
using a standard Tektro binder bolt hanger on the rear and the Tektro 
fork-mounted one on the front.

Matter o'fact, here's a canti'd Clementine from the original demo batch I 
had a saved picture of in my Clem notes archive (since with Riv, pics have 
a tendency to disappear over time).

Looking at the Riv picture, it seems like a longer cable hanger for the
rear (like the Nitto or Surly) would allow for a more gradual curve in the
housing under the seat.

I have cantis on my Clem as well. I'm considering the step-through 
Clementine specifically with the tight angle in the Riv photo. I have 
pulley already that has a built-in cable stop adjuster, curious if others 
have gone this route. It's certainly not a dealbreaker, if I decide on 
buying it then v-brakes certainly would be fine. Just considering options.

I guess I just never found the bend to be that tight? I'd put'em on a 
Clementine without a second thought and not fuss with the pulleys, But I 
also like the look of looping housing on step throughs, so maybe I'm just 
odd like that.

[RBW] Re: Cantilever Brakes on a Clementine?

2016-01-28 Thread masmojo 
I originally built my 2 Clementines with V brakes because I thought cable 
routing would be a issue for Cantilevers, but the long chain stays translate to 
reasonably uncluttered seat stays as well & because I don't like V brakes I 
quickly reverted to my trusty Canti's! 
I was able to snag a like new example of the Surly cable hanger off epay for a 
good price and I had one of the similarly designed Nittos that I had bought for 
my Kogswell project that I never completed,  so both Clementines are sporting 
Canti's now!

Thanks Tim. Somehow I hadn't seen Surly's hanger and now want that on my 
Clem too. It was a tight bend with the Tektro back there.
