Not an expert, but the brakes you need are called Mafac "Raid." Much longer reach. Check my article in Rivendell Reader No.30, p. 6, which has a comparison photo of the three "reaches" Mafac made. -- Jan Heine, Seattle Editor/Publisher Vintage Bicycle Quarterly c/o Il Vecchio Bicycles 140 Lakeside Ave, Ste.
