So I bought a Tiagra Triple

I’ve had the group for a couple of months but I couldn’t find a rear brake that would work. I tried Paul Mini Moto’s then Paul Touring Canti’s none would work. In a bit of frustration I bought some Rene Herse canti’s they work sorta.

I’m not sure I want a bike that has in essence a drag brake in the rear and a powerful brake in the front to ride a lightish touring bike even if I like it. In the end it stops and goes but….
