Paul Component Neo-Retro Cantilever Brake Set - Silver
Only 1 left in stock
Paul Component Neo-Retro is a wide cantilever brake with plenty of stopping power, generous clearance for tires and fenders, and the classic profile many associate with really good touring and cyclocross builds. Its geometry is based on the famous Mafac Tandem brake, but Paul has made it using modern materials with significantly better adjustability.
The brake arms are CNC-machined from 6061 aluminum, and the wide design provides good mechanical gear ratio and plenty of tire clearance. The brake pads can be adjusted for height, angle, and toe-in, while sealed pivots with adjustable spring tension keep the brake moving smoothly and centered. Neo-Retro uses short pull and is therefore compatible with traditional cantilever/road brake levers, not V-brake levers.
This silver set includes front and rear brakes, as well as Kool Stop Salmon Thinline pads, a cable hanger, and a cable. For smaller frames or builds where you want a narrower brake profile, the Paul Touring Canti is the closest alternative. The Neo-Retro, however, is hard to beat when you want a classic cantilever brake with modern functionality, high serviceability, and the characteristic finish of Paul Components.
