Sorry, can't take this offlist, which I meant it to be. Mike, I have bought many things from you and v-v, but don't currently have your email address. Can you send?

Moving on to point: Mike: I think those IRDs may be the wonderful brakes Riv staff installed on the shop floor Sam Hill I bought back in whateverthehellitwas; first edition Sam. Those were the best brakes of all, comparing Vs, discs, dual and single pivots, centerpulls, stirrups, Altenbergers, stirrup/bowden hybrids, coasters, drums; all sorts and all makes and models. 

I am still hoping to get my Tektro CR 520s to stop squealing in front, but scuttlebutt says that these have sloppy pivots and so, if within a month or so, after buying some lacquer thinner to clean rim, and going back to OEM Tektro pads, don't fix problem, I may be interested if these haven't sold by then. Just sayin'. 

Can you tell me whether these are likely to work well, no squeal or shudder, with long head and steerer tubes?

Thanks.

Question, general, for full list, not IRD related: with some posts in gmail I can dig out the sender's personal email address by creating draft and clicking on the rbw address, which makes the sender's address show up; with others, Mikes here included, I can't. Does anyone know why this is so?

Sorry Patrick.  The brakes are claimed, I went out for a ride in the nice weather and just saw this. 

As for the brakes, they were pretty powerful on Bob Jackson #2. No squeal, but I only rode it with the original wheelset and the brake shoes and rims were broken in by the previous owner.  Very positive braking force, modulated the pressure when squeezing the brake levers (Campy Chorus brifters). The springs are quite strong, but they appear to be infinitely adjustable. The set-up looks similar to Paul canti brakes.  

I'm running Dia Compe 980s (new version from Riv) with stock pads and the brakes work great on the renewed BJ#2 (wheelset I used on the short-lived Atlantis) and no shuddering.  Not as powerful as the Cafam brakes, but still very good. Using the same brake and wheelset on the Atlantis, it shuddered even with moderate braking which was pretty annoying. The cable run on BJ#2 is a bit different, but a whole different bike it would be difficult to pinpoint why Atlantis shuddered on braking and BJ#2 does not.

I'm pretty sure you had the Mk I version of those brakes ..not the Mk II Mike was selling

not sure how they are/were different. 

And weird that that's something I remember about your old green SH. Probably because it's the same generation as mine.
