From what I see on the forums, it's the cyclocross bikes that seem to
have the worst time with brake shudder. The "impossible to adjust" is,
in my opinion, down to incompetent mechanics. Hard, sure; impossible,
nonsense.

For the life of me I can't understand the bad rap cantilever brakes
get in these discussions. I've had them on most of my bikes, from old
mafac or dia compe style to newer shimano style, and have never had a
difficult time adjusting them or maintaining them, or using them in
the rain, or snowy weather (provided you know what to expect from
them, you can account for it in your riding). I ride daily year round
and am sticking with cantilevers, but have also used and would be fine
with old weinmann centerpulls, sidepulls, or u-brakes.
The horrible reputation cantilevers (and now all rim brakes in some
cases) have, when these kinds of 'this or that' argument come up,
tends to make me mistrust similar sentiments about other technology
with which I don't have any experience. I get the feeling issues just
get blown way the hell out of proportion.
