PS: Using, as I said, Mavic CXP33 rims & Continental 28mm 4-Season tyres inflated to c.80psi, the distance from the top of the tyre to the (horizontal) cable between the two arms is c.26mm, or a hair over 1 inch. The curved arms are wider than the inside edge of the forks: there would be no dan

The mini moto is a great brake, at least on my bike, which I use for road riding, commuting, and occasional "gravel grinding".. I replaced a Tektro R6 mini-V on the front of my Lynskey ProCross (Alpha Q CX 10 fork; Shimano Ultegra 6700 levers; Mavic CXP33 and, sometimes, A719 rims; Continental

I tried running a mini-moto on my Atlantis with a 50mm Big Apple. The brake itself work great. I had a little trouble getting the tension even, but I'm not entirely sure that was an issue with the brakes design. All in all it was pretty easy to set up. Unfortunately, running the mini-moto with t

MiniMoto is short pull, and the Monolite is long pull...meaning the MiniMoto is designed to be paired with road brake levers unlike the Monolite. The shorter arms of the MiniMoto might not clear as huge a tire as the MonoLite. I dig the look of the MiniMotos, and I would not be surprised if they w

MiniMotos are so new on the market, may be a while yet for reviews. Paul really seems to have winnowed the Minimotos down to just the basics. Paul does such a good job with their other stuff, I imagine these will work well also. On Sunday, May 20, 2012 6:27:28 PM UTC-5, Ray wrote: > > Seeking
