Hey Scott, I had a Boone McReynolds touring frame at one time with narrow spacing which I ultimately had Simon Fitch at Bilenky bikes re-space for me because they had little stopping power. The only brakes that seemed to work were Shimano 600 cantilevers but they had smaller arms and were not effective for loaded touring or more importantly when I was towing the Burley trailer with my young daughter inside it. I may still even have the brakes downstairs and they are from 83 so they are on topic. What about a set of Pauls Touring Cantis?
