I've got some Paul Racer's on my Roadini. I am using the small adjustable Nitto hanger. I've never been happy with the bend in the housing (Jagwire Pro). It works, but it rubs a little and I am looking for tips on how to get some smoother braking. Length? Bending tips? Different housing?

Thanks!

Use a longer hanger. Nitto, Surly, Rene Herse, Paul Funky Monkey, Dia-Compe. Vintage Weinmann and Mafac.

I like the Surly - nice and long, and adjustable. if you take out the adjuster lock nut, you can even get a touch of extra length.

Yep, that's the ticket. I've got a longer Nitto one but I'd really like it to be adjustable. Thanks Laing!

+1 for the Surly hanger. I've got one on my Soma San Marcos pulling Paul Racers and another on my wife's Clem pulling some vintage XT cantilevers. They're nice and long (I think maybe even the longest rear hanger on the market) to give you a more gentle cable arc. They work a treat, and at ~$10 a pop, probably about the cheapest rear hanger too.
