Very limited, current production and under 100 USD. I use Pauls, 559's, and old but very clean Mafac Raids which have the best clearance. I've tried the dia-comps 610 I think, bought them from Riv a while back. They flex a bit but are usable, I think you can snag a pair cheap if you look

Use Paul Racer, singular, would get him close to budget. Will @ Riv's Cheviot has Tektro on the rear, Racer up front. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send
