I don't think the sidepull/cantilever difference is so much in performance, but in clearance: If you have a really fat knobby tire, you might have to deflate it to get it out of a sidepull, even one with a quick-release to widen the mouth; whereas a cantilever or a v-brake is going to open up a lot wider to get the tire out.
If you're running a not-as-wide tire, in a large-enough sidepull that has a quick-release, you probably won't have to deflate it to get it out. Some canti's may stop more than others, but stick out more than others, if that's a concern. Sidepulls wouldn't stick out at all. Running bags may influence that choice, too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
