I’ve been meaning to replace my long-reach calipers on the MKE since I first built it up. They sucked for mud and leaf clearance but I just couldn’t spring for the Paul Racer Mediums at the time. Since I’m bringing this bike to Sydney in a few days, I wanted something that would fit fenders, cross tires or road tires and still have all the braking power I needed. Oh and they had to be black.

The Paul Racer Mediums fit perfectly on this bike. While the center pull can be deceiving, they mount through the brake drillings on the crown and brake bridge. When compared to the long-reach calipers, I was very impressed by their stopping power.

Full bike shots to come.
