Hi Jeff,

Here are some photos of my Clem Smith Jr. "L" bike with Dia-Compe 980 cantilever brakes. Let me know, if you need more pictures.

My bike came with V-brakes. I took them off and replaced them with the 980s'.

I like them.

Paired very nicely with those Dia-Compe levers, which I think are really nice...as nice as Pauls IMO.

I know, I know, Paul Components is a US company. I had their Racers installed on my mixte and I could've gone all in and got levers....but dammit, the dia-compes are nice...and reasonably priced.Just sayin'

Atlantis with some 980's that need adjusting. https://ibb.co/BGNrHCy

[Kim Hetzel]

I forgot to mention that I, too, have the Dia-Compe levers paired with the 980 brakes. No complaints.

I have some on my Atlantis:

[Alexander Chalmers]

Got some for the Miyata Triple cross I built as a 2 speed a little while back - I've loved them so far. Easy set up and good performance.

Hello Mike with the Bob Jackson. Nice looking bike. What front cable hanger is that? I never seen one like it before.

[RichS]

My Mercian with the 980s.

Best,

Rich in ATL

[John Bokman]

Gorgeous Mercian, Rich!

[R Shannon]

Thank you John, I appreciate it!

King of Mercia?

Tubing specs by chance? 753? 853?

Looks like standard diameter tubing?

[Mike Godwin]

Hi John S

Erik Billings who did the braze-on mods and other frame stuff, I asked him to make a rigid longer drop cable hanger. It is chro-mo tubing, probably seat stay tube with a 6 mm barrel braze-on. Erik made two of them, one went to someone on the i-bob, 650b, or Riv list. Powder coated aluminum color when the frame was done in green.  He also made a couple of "paper clip" style rear cable hangers - longer than Nitto or SOMA - that hangs from the seat post clamp bolt.

Hey strong +1 that the Tektro Oryx brakes are terrible. Had a set on my Surly LHT. 

Here is a pic of the same LHT with 980s right before I sold it. 

[Eric Marth]

I'd like to add I think the 980s are a great looking brake, nice for the price, classic, innocuous, they check a lot of boxes. 

You should buy that set from Jeff, you can't go wrong.

Mike, that second hanger went to me! And you are correct- I'm on all three of those lists! The hanger is currently on my San Marcos which is for sale due to an overseas move this spring. Erik did a great job on the hanger; it's long enough to be out of the way but still stiff enough not to have any flex when braking. I think you should convince him to make more, as I think there's definitely a market for long hangers like this.

looks great with the black on the green Miyata.

[Armand Kizirian]

Not a riv but setup like one! A very minty '88 StumpJumper I recently converted to a city cruiser. Very pleased with the brakes and koolstop pads.

[Alexander Chalmers]

Thanks! Really went back and forth on silver vs black, but I'm pleased with the end result

Here’s mu Crust Romanceur with Tia Comp 980’s.

Nick, I think that photo pushed me over the edge. thanks

[JohnS]

Nick, that's one clean Appaloosa! Did you just give it a refurb? I'm in the process of giving my QB one.

No, the bike has been sitting in my back room for a while as all my cycling lately has been unloaded riding on other bikes. I find that the Appaloosa is too stoutly built for unloaded riding - I have other bikes with frames made from skinnier, lighter gauge tubing that I prefer in that situation.

[JohnS]

Nick, different bikes for different functions, I subscribe to that.

I ran those brakes on my FW Evans build. They worked great for that build since it favored pavement riding but when I tried to run them on my Monstercross on the rough stuff, I swapped to mini-v's.
