I think if you move the spacers on the pad shoes from the inside of the arms to the outside (worth about 4mm of clearance) then you should be able to get them to work no problem. They might even work without doing that.

They are that wide at the brake track, or at the widest point?

Well, the lack of a quick release means nothing to me since I run Campy (campy calipers don't have qr's either) so this would work just fine! Might be putting my Records up for sale here and pick up a set of these.

Yeah they told me that. She had to dig for a set that had the swiss stops at which point she just swapped them for me.

I didn't realize they even had the brakes in stock locally. Looks like I know what I'm doing tomorrow!
Any chance they matched the current website price?

Yes they did. i got mine for $109. They are located at 57 NE Hancock st. which is Directly behind broadway toyota which is near the roase garden. (hancock runs parallel to broadway)
If you do go in, can you tell them that I sent you in? just say the Red Bull guy informed you.
EDIT: just looked and they are only open M-F 9-5

109$ only front and rear?
those green swisstop pads have lot of power, but i've heard they eat aluminium too fast. they are good for ceramic rims, but for standard aluminium rims it will decrease the life of your rims.

I see the cable clamp will knacker the cable even when installed by an expert.
On mine I took the sharp edges off the grub screw but I couldn't get at the internal sharp edges.
It works though. Just have to be careful installing cables.
