Coming in a bit late to the thread, I realize... Finding someone in most shops who actually knows how to adjust canti's is not easy. Look for the greybeard silverback most-ent-like denizen.
As Benz points out - if you have removed gaps or seating issues in the housing so that there's no slack - squishy actually means you have more power. That "hard" brake feeling - or "pukka-pukka" as it's sometimes technically referred to - means that you are doing all the work at the lever because you have less power. I've always pointed folks to the Sheldon Brown articles - http://www.sheldonbrown.com/cantilever-adjustment.html http://www.sheldonbrown.com/cantilever-geometry.html and with some trial and error (if you want to put the time in) you can gain an understanding of the beast. Since linear-pull brakes and disc brakes eclipsed their use on mtbs, it's not a bad skill to have. - Jim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
