I have a Homer and tried it with 559s. They were ok, but I ride in a fairly
flat area. I changed to Paul Racers, and they stop much better.
Good luck!

Diacompe GC center pulls (nicer than their DC center pulls) and Paul Racers
are also an option.

This was just discussed in the Charlie H Gallop proto thread.
Some people like those brakes, some people find them weak. I’m in the
latter group. I wouldn’t commit to such an expensive frame that is limited
to those brakes. My experience with long reach calipers is almost
universally bad,
I’m window shopping for the next project and was interested in the Homer.
Great looking frame. My only concern is the brakes. I live in a pretty
mountainous area. Meaning plenty of long, fast descents.
Those of you with Homers, how have you liked or disliked the brakes? Do the
559’s give you
