Paul motolite clones (prg racing)

Just waiting on a set of these to be delivered;

Thought they were worrh a try for £40 (i made an offer and it got accepted). I had a chat with the owner over facebook messenger and they seem pretty legit. Their floating ice disk rotors get rave reviews so should hopefully be pretty decent.
They are selling off the last few sets so if anyone wants em get on it now as that is all they will be producing (i assume because they are too similar to paul motolites).
I will do a full reciew once i have them hooked up to my current work in progress (sunn exact ti ss)

I got so.e a while back, thought they were well made but I couldn't run them with the intended brake booster as the spacers fouled on the spring tension bolt outer thingy. They would have been great apart from that. Shame you can't flip the noodle bar like Paul's brakes but for the price you paid, bargain.

I recievef them literally 5 mins after inposted about them!
Thats the only part im a bit sceptical about (the tension bolt thingy). Did you use them at all?, im a bit worried about the bolt slipping and the brakes failing when in mid descent. Seems a bit strange tok that there is no washers between the brakes and brake mounts.

The main difference between them and the Paul's brakes is the rear of the brake. There is a sleeve that goes in to the boss first before the brake arm is fitted, the prg ones don't have this and use the V boss as the pivot I think. I didn't use them off a bike stand but the front brake without the booster seemed ok in the limited time it was on there.

That makes sense I guess from looking at potos of a stripped down moto-lite. I should have them set up next week so hopefully they should work as good as they look. Cheers
