Hello from South Dakota, USA,
Can anyone share any tips, tricks, and things to be mindful of when installing & setting up? They were on the market around 1988 and I have not been able to find much in the way of installation guidance since I picked up a never-used set of them. A picture is attached and that may spark some memories out there (not my brakes or frame, stole the image off bikeforums.net) According to a Bicycling Magazine review of them (that someone posted on bikeforums.net) they should be decent brakes. The oddest thing about them is that the reach is adjustable via a sliding mounting bolt. This is one of the steps that trouble me since the pads have no vertical adjustment to speak of and I worry about getting the height just right. I plan on using them on a 1986 Schwinn Peloton frame that I am slowly building up (i.e. in fits & starts whilst I scrape up a few dollars for my bike building fund).
Many thanks for your input,
John
