Funny how canti brakes are so simple yet quite theoretically and operationally quite complicated. As I understand canti operations, I agree with Jeremy that you will gain some mechanical advantage from a lower straddle cable. You might also run fine sandpaper along the rim braking surface just to insure it is clean and 'open' to the brake pads.
After you have ridden it for awhile, I would like to hear your comparison/contrast to the LHT, a bike with different tube diameters and thickness but very similar geometry. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
