Thanks.

Spag, those are Croce d'Aune Deltas. They adjust like 'regular' brakes rather than the way Record Deltas adjust so the slots are longer than on the Record version...which is why I prefer them over the Records. Fortunately the fork was made so that the pads are in the bottom of the slot and they have max clearance.

To give you another idea of how much more clearance CdAs have, on this bike the pads are not close to being all the way down in the slots and while this tire is obviously too tight to ride it does spin without touching.
