Paul setup help
OK, so am resurrecting this thread to ask of the wisdom from Paul Touring Canti's owners. Have a set that are tough to set up on the rear of a custom Ti frame.
The problem: On rims 20mm's or wider, I can only use thinline pads. If you get into a wider, cross-specific rim and the thicker, cartridge pads like Avid Wrangler, the bottom of the pad contacts the rim before the rest of the pad. I'm maxing out the conical washer's range to address the problem, and when I go to tighten it all up, the pad move out of place (because the conical is at such an extreme angle). Super frustrating.
At first I wondered if my canti post's were spaced too inboard, so would like to hear if others have seen same issue (particularly the KishCx owner). Trouble with being limited to Thinline pads is that they don't make a yellow-carbon one, and you have to toss the whole think after they wear (so wasteful IMO).
So for now, I'm working around all this with Open Pro rims at 19mm - no problems atall. But when I go back to tubulars, I'd like to get the greater surface area of a wider rim for glueing cx tubulars, if possible.
