On my Quickbeam, the only Paul braking bits I've got are green Moon Units. I have used the Neo-Retro / Touring setup on another bike, and switched to Minimotos due to brake judder. I've never had judder on my Quickbeam. As Mark said, regular road levers work with both minimotos and cantis. I l

Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences with Paul brakes. I do like the way the brake cable connects to the minimotos, same as a v-brake, no cable hanger required. I'm planning to have a small front rack. I'll have to make sure the rack tang doesn't interfere with the brake cable as it con

Patrick - are you spec'ing a 31.8 clamp size because you're going to use the bars with possibly a threadless stem with a 4-bolt bar clamp? If so, it's too bad that you don't want an anatomic bar because the one fits all of your other criteria better than some of the other recommendations is th

That's great info, though too bad the 74s won't fit out of the box. Before giving up on 2.25s and fenders, I'd take some measurements and see if Flat 65s would work in the frame and fork (and chain in low/low). If so you should be able to get them setup with the 2.25s G-ones since they don't re
