Weren't all the old Weinmann centerpulls known as 750 or 610's?
Maybe that was the length?
Many bikes were equipped with the long one in back and the shorter in front.
Some were both the same, if memory serves me well today.
The sidepulls were from 500 to 1080 to fit all the wheel and tire sizes. I
think.
Ride a fixed gear and glove your wheel to stop.
No more brake problems.
