yeah that's what I'm realizing...I don't want to order a set from Overseas...they can be quite pricey. I like that they can be found with brown hoods with a little sleuthing though.

Good choice Justin. The Motolites will not clear fork crown hole to use with mini racks.

A marks rack’s diving board could be bent at a right angle to hook above or below the cable.

I remember reading somewhere where Grant talks about putting the hole in the fork crown in a different location (higher?) than most other bike designers. I don't think there is any way the set-up of the blue bike with a rack could work with the motolite on my Hunqapillar.

On mine, the tip of the frame holding the noodle is in front of the mounting bolt in the fork crown for my light. When I pull the brake lever, the bolt is completely covered by the noodle frame.

if you are using a rack that needs the fork crown hole, yes. it will likely be in the way. Ive had them on 2 bikes and the cable directly crosses that hole. With a diving board attachment you could likely go over or under with a little bending though. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Paul motolite reviews?
I think this may also have something to do with the levers I used (Tektro linear drop levers), but the "grabbyness" made them almost scary offroad when I needed to slow down a little but not stop. You hit a bump which caused hands squeezing the lever just a tad more and the wheels would temporarily lock up. Never crashed because of it but did switch back to cantis after a few sketchy incidents. I really like the mini motos which exhibit none of the "on/off" characteristics for me but offer excellent power when needed and plenty of modulations to control speed (tire choice is more limited though). Again, my experience with the Motolites may have been lever related and could likely be further changed with different pads (I used the stock thinlines).

What others have said. By far the most powerful brakes amongst my bikes. They have put me over the handlebars at least once due to their brute power (and user error on my part).

Paul motolites are very powerful brakes. I had them on my Hunqapillar a couple of years ago. It's one of the most powerful mechanical brakes I've used. The response is very immediate, easy to set up. and very robust. The flipside, when you brake it engages very quickly, giving a grabby feel. This happened even on my polished Atlas rims.

[RBW] Re: Paul motolite reviews?
I have a set on the front of my Hunqapillar and I basically view it as "bling" for my bike. I can't tell that it stops any better than the Deore V-brake it replaced, one of the bolts has to be tightened really tight to keep the spring pressure from loosening it and it squeals loud enough to wake the dead. I thought linear pull brakes don't need toe-in but I guess this one does. I am using this with a Deore brake lever. What I really want is mini-moto's (love the look) but I wasn't willing to give up tire clearance so I bought the Motolite as a way to dip my foot into the pond. I am impressed by the quality of the parts and the ability to rebuild the brake forever. They are light and I honestly thought parts of it were made from plastic! Knowing what I know now, would I buy it again, or will I buy another for the rear? Maybe. I'm starting to think that wide profile cantilevers look even better than the motolites.
