Even the cheapie Tektro v-brakes, which are under $30 for a bike's worth, are amazingly powerful and all but foolproof to set up.
I stopped using cantilevers on my own bikes several years ago. Canti fans often claim that cantilevers are a simple matter of set-up, that theoretically they should be as powerful as v-brakes, provided that several variables are properly adjusted. If that's true, then I never figured out the right way to do it. My most powerful cantilevers were nowhere near as powerful as any of the v-brakes I use, certainly not without a trade off in required grip power. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
