another opinion....slightly different. It depends on where you live. If you live a hilly or mountainous area I would choose cantilever or brazed on center pulls every time. I think Silvers are mushy compared to either. They are easy to install and adjust, but don't have the stopping power of properly adjusted canti's. The best rim brake I've ever used are the brazed on Paul Racers, but those require the addition of specially located posts and a new paint job.
The new mini V's look promising too, I just don't care for the appearance. I wish Grant would put canti's back on the Sam and add them to a batch of Hilsens sometime. I think he mentioned it costs extra to put the posts on. ~mike > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
