[RBW] Re: Tektro R559 vs. Dia-Compe 750 centerpulls.

Yea. They're both very good. The DiaCompes are a bit mushier but some like that. What's it called? Modulation.Of course sidepulls are a helluva lot easier to set up but they don't look as cool. Craig "In with the In Crowd" in Tucson On Thursday, January 25, 2018 at 2:16:48 PM UTC-7, lum gim fo

[RBW] Re: Tektro R559 vs. Dia-Compe 750 centerpulls.

I have had both (separate and together) on a couple of bikes. The main advantage of the center-pulls was that I could run a larger tire or fender. this applied mostly on the front. On a Sam the sidepulls hit the top of the fender when open for wheel removal. When I was fenderless and running the

Re: [RBW] Re: Tektro R559 vs. Dia-Compe 750 centerpulls.

The biggest drawback of the R559 is that it intrudes into the fender clearance. If you snug the front fender up to the bottom of the brake (to maximize tire clearance), the sidepull arm hits (and bends) the fender when open. Centerpull brakes don't have this problem. I went to Paul Racers (750s
