Hi all, as mentioned in title. I have a Manitou Comp fork (1995). I tried installing BR-M900 and the cantilevers rub against the brake arch.
I then tried WTB Speedmasters and had the same problem.
Now, I installed some Paul 'Stoplights" and these have no issue.
The M900 appear too "low profile" and not compatible with this brake arch
I did have these M900's on a Manitou EFC without issue, but the brake arch is different. I notice the brake arch on the Comp extends much more forward.. while EFC arch is flush. See side profile photos for comparison.
I guess my question is.. why is the Comp arch designed that way? Was there a benefit or just aesthetics?
