Subject: Re: [RBW] Paul Racer Set Up
Uneven distance from the rim for the pads, even with the springs set to the
same tension. Front lever feels soft and can almost reach the bar when squeezed
hard. Front brake seems as if it should have more stopping power.

Do you have the braze-on kind, or the one with the adapter for center hole?
The braze on kind are a cinch to center up, but the center bolt takes a bit
of work. Play with the tension on each side and see if that does anything.
You have to hold the flats pretty tight or it'll turn when you tighten u
Hmm, if the springs are the same tension is it just that the brake is
uneven, ie not squared over the middle of the tire, this can be a common
problem with centerpulls, as you tension it down it tends to rotate,
leaving it uneven on the pads, a solution for this is to line it up with
the nut loose

Somewhat confused, what do you mean by setup and why would you have to do
it more than once or twice? What issue are you having specifically?
