Hugh: On Mike's recommendation, I tried a pair of Kool Stop's Cross Pads:
http://www.koolstop.com/english/crosspad.html They are a lot shorter than the cartridge ones I had. I was wanting shorter pads to allow the brake to open more for clearance for chubby tires. Braking power seems the same. They are 55 mm long. Seems like pads vary quite a bit in length. dougP On Saturday, February 7, 2015 at 4:09:18 PM UTC-8, hsmitham wrote: > > Hey Rivsters, > > I'm currently using Paul Component > <http://www.paulcomp.com/touringcanti.html> Touring Canti Brakes with the > Koolstop > <http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.koolstop.com%2Fenglish%2Fthinline.html&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNGyRb3oehPlZ56nkyMvKiIl6RrHDg> > > thinline salmon pads on my Atlantis. > > The rear were never properly toed in or aligned with the rim surface so > they wore funny and now squeal. > > Here's my question, can you run the Eagle 2 > <http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.koolstop.com%2Fenglish%2Feagle2.html&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNFt0MQF3KxkUBtj5vJoMPiHuTEWQQ>pads > > with these Canti's.
