only, they have cartridge brake shoes so being able to upgrade shoes
without needing to fiddle with any adjustments made it an easy choice.
If they hadn’t been available I would have gone with the Alivos
RBW recommended M730 for the Appaloosa they recently built for me. I have a
55 mm slick tires with SKS B65 fenders and the brakes clear fine in both
front and back. They are also priced pretty well at ~$25 per wheel (RBW
doesn't sell them as separate parts but you can easily find them on other
Good morning Ray,
Having spoken with The Team as my Platypus build comes together (with 700c
x 47 tires and fenders) my understanding is that clearance is the main

I’m in need of a set (bike’s worth) of V-brakes.
I see Rivendell has Alivo level brakes for $20 per wheel
Is there a compelling reason not to use them?
If so, any recommendation on a budget level brake that works well?
Thank you
Ray
