Go with the V-brakes b/c they can be less of an ass pain to setup. The tektro 520 levers also feel pretty good in my hands. Having said that - so do the shimano levers.
However, if you really want cantis, spring for the paul cantis - they are just a nicer brake and less fidgety to setup than the cr720s. -sv On Wed, Nov 14, 2012 at 2:05 AM, Jan RBW <jan....@gmail.com> wrote: > I’m planning my new country bike with drop bars and bar end shifters and > I’m considering which brakes I should choose. > > The alternatives I’m thinking at the moment are: > - Tektro CR720 cantilevers & Shimano BL-R400 levers > - Avid Single Digit 7 V-brakes & Tektro RL 520 levers > > From reading this thread I guess I should go with the V-brakes because of > the better stopping power? > > I’m open to other alternatives too if you want to recommend something. > > Jan > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "RBW Owners Bunch" group. > To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
