I'm using campagnolo centaur brakes front and rear. If you plan on just a front brake then the install is fairly simple but if you plan on front and rear then read the surlyblog for details. Esentially you need to run a rear brake in the front and a front in the rear with some special hardware.
Currently running 700x23 tires but I am tracking a package that contains some conti 700x32 tires. I can't wait.
