stevefromtexas:
My friend just gave me a set of Springfield brakes I got them working good with the odyssey quick slick cable and I'm useing clear ghost pads they work grate. I have a older set of flys to I ordered new springs for them and they worked for about 3 hours and the spring just won't stay the springs I ordered are for clasico or manual would love to run them again if anyone on here has a set of springs they will let go pm me please.

Has the geometry of brakes stayed the same or has it changed to accommodate clearance for larger tires?

In my experience, brake arms have not changed in shape to accommodate larger tires. When I was building up my current frame I bought a brand new set of Evo IIs only to find out that there was absolutely zero chance that they would fit around my 2.25" tire. The set of Eclat arms that I had did the same thing. I ended up filing out the inside of some OG Fly arms and they've worked so far.
I think G has said that the Springfield arms have lots of clearance, and I think the Shadow Sano arms do as well.

Well damn, I wonder what the Max size is for EVO2s as I just bought two sets myself for my new build :/ Seems odd that the EVOs wouldn't be any bigger since the smallest size Odyssey offers in most of their tires is 2.2"
KillSeth:
I agree, but every frame is different. Maybe you're experience will be more successful?
Let me know.

I think it comes down to brake mount placement. I have Eclat brakes and can clear a 2.4 tire no problem, and havent had an issue with any other brakes.
