The Hunt for Paul Racers continues...

[James Fune]

Greetings all,

I recently scored a pair of Racers for my Homer and upon installation, I discovered my 50cm frame requires a long reach set, even for the 650b wheels they are designed around. You can imagine the disappointment at my lack of foresight! And so I resigned to my fate and reinstalled my Tektro R559s...

If you are looking to offload a long reach Racer set (for a reasonable price) I will be happy to purchase them from you.

Best,

James from Richmond VA

Thank you

Thats weird, i have a 51 AHH 650B (the dark gold one) and i fitted the Paul Racers just fine.  Is a 50 cm from an older production run?

[Ken Yokanovich]

There are 2 different versions of Paul Racer brakes:

"Racer Medium" designed around 47-57mm reach

"Racer" for 57-72mm reach

[James Fune]

Sebastian, I’m wondering if your Racers are the ‘normal’ Racer brakes sold by Paul comp and Rivendell with a 57mm-67mm reach. It seemed mine were the ‘mid reach’ version (47mm-57mm) which is specified in the title and specs when purchasing from both sites. My frame is a Toyo 2012, so I guess it could be considered older!

You got the correct version that I failed to verify. Here is the one I received.

Incidentally I just ordered a pair of silver Paul Racers from https://www.paulcomp.com/ for my Homer.  They said they will ship in about two weeks.
