Smoother and stronger than the Mafacs they answered. This complete set came off a 1950s-60s Olmo that gave up every part without a fight, and the yoke carriers and straddle cables \u2014 the bits that always go missing \u2014 are all here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Workshop Wisdom:<\/strong> Centerpulls live and die by straddle cable height: shorter straddle means more power, longer means more modulation. Set the yoke so the straddle arms sit near 45 degrees and these will out-stop most sidepulls of the era.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Guarantee:<\/strong> You put in the miles, we put in the work! 30 day Guarantee, rest assured of fit, function and condition \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Universal Mod 61, Universal brakes, centerpull brakes, center pull calipers, vintage brake calipers, Italian brakes, eroica, L&#8217;Eroica, 1960s, Olmo, vintage road bike, long reach brakes, Fratelli Pietra<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Will this work?
