I've used them to switch between 650b and 26" wheels on the same bike -
performance is grand either way.(The rim widths on my 650bs differ from
the 26"s, complicating mechanical advantage comparisons - would be
interesting to see how they get on with only a vertical adjustment of the
pads.
The bike in the photo is now disassembled, with the caliper adjuster
transferred to the bigger Hoodoo. I'll try to get a higher-rez photo
tomorrow and post it up.
I'd never heard of the widget either, until I embarked on the
wheel-embiggening project somewhere around 2010. I figured that since
Without parsing the details too carefully, there is certain potential to
that notion; I may try it. I didn't try it with the pictured build, because
I was still monkeying with flatbars then. All the components have been
transferred off the 15" Hoodoo that was *way* too small for me onto an
That’s great insight.

"First" in the context of my post means "before the ones you're used to
now", not that Paul invented linear pull brakes.
Update: Pads are sold.

Joe,
Are these Kool-Stop Thinline pads (with post and washers)? If so, I can
take them off your hands.
Thanks very much.

One more note: I'm using the "ebike pads" Riv sells, which work great and
that cool chrome matches the hardware on the arms. I couldn't tell ya how
the stock orange pads feel, they looked funky against the gray/red and the
bike never got out of the house with them!
Joe "new orange pads for
Thanks rich, I may try them.

Canada shipping is fun!
It would be interesting to see how the brakes felt with non-Paul levers but
I'll say this: I had the Paul levers first (replacing Shimano) with the
Shimano XT v-brakes that were on the bike and there was no difference in
feel and modulation. All the change was in
Great upgrade! I would say that it's a little bittersweet that you love
them, because that means I can't buy them for my Hillborne, but I think
we've dealt with enough Paul brake shipping malarky together for a lifetime
hey? hahaha
I felt exactly the same when I put Motolites + Paul levers
Thanks Rich! Now that I've seen Mike's orange spring tensioners I'm
thinking some red ones on my custom would be sweet. Cuz apparently I
haven't spent enough money on Paul brakes yet!

To answer your question, Yes. I used Motolites on a 26" wheel Atlantis for
a 650b conversion. Worked fine.
Joe, the red cable end caps are a nice touch!

There's certainly room on the post to run 700c on my 650b bike, but then
you start running out of room for the tire under the cable. Maybe a skinny
road tire would fit.

I read that you can use them to run different wheel sizes assuming you star
with a 26 inch wheel. Anyone try it? And would the higher pad position affect
performance. I’d imagine it would introduce some flex. Any insight?
