The Mafacs are fine brakes. Kool stop makes pads for mafac racers. My Moto came with Weinmanns and they work great especially with kool stop pads. The bike has an impressive amount of clearance for a fat tire. I'm running a "compact" crank (really a Nervar 631/633) with 50/34 rings and a 5 speed 14-28 freewheel.
