The Modolo brakes that would naturally go with this are short-reach and don't fit, so I'd like some suggestions on a side-pull caliper alternative. (I have had Weinmann 730 before and have been impressed by their quality but they're a bit low-end). Tecktro Dual Pivot Brakes   Posted: Wed Aug 12, 2015 12:50 am verktyg Joined: 14 Jan 2007 Posts: 2814 Location: SF Bay Area I'd recommend looking at some Tektro dual pivot brakes. They offer a lot of different models including nutted and recessed mounting. Dual pivot brakes offer superior stopping power and they look somewhat classic. http://www.tektro-usa.com/category.php?productid=1192&catid=183&subcat=0 They are reasonably priced too. _________________ Chas.
