Paul Racer M comments

[eddief]

I needed more clearance under the brake arms right under the bolt hole on my Casseroll. This occurred after I installed knob Gravel Kings 32mm with Tektro 539 47-57 brakes. Smooth Gravel Kings fit just fine but the knob ones were actually touching the brake arms when I was on the bike.

Wanted to try the recessed bolt Racer M thinking it might provide a bit more space. First, I'd like to say it blows my mind that a tiny company like Paul can design and manufacture jewelry as is the Racer M. Those guys are talented as heck.

Second, I can say that the Racer M on the front of the Casseroll does enable maybe 3 or more mm of clearance under the brake arms at the fork crown.

All good.

Salsa Casseroll and Racer M are a wonderful combination.

great brakes, buy and enjoy, they put medium/long reach side-pull calipers to shame

I was having front brake issues with the 539 model, not the 559 model.

If anyone wants a set of Paul Racer Ms in black, like-new condition with unused KoolStope thinline pads, LMK. $155 shipped. I was going to use these for a project but went a different direction.
