Mafac "Raid" ? Is that the model on which Mafac eliminated the squealing bugs ? I had the Riv article at one time; now have to hunt. Richard Cielec Chicago, Ill.

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.
