I was sort of surprised upon buying my BMC monster cross that Mike Varley specs
Tektro Oryxs, but honestly I’ve had good experiences with them. On my dad
bike/commuter (a heavily customized Jamis Aurora), I have the Oryxs with Kool
Stop dual compound pads and I’ve had no problem stopping down st
When I built my Appaloosa I went through a few cantis over 12-14 months
before setting with v-brakes. I have not tried CX 50/70, but VO Gran Cru
and Avid Shorty Ultimate were very good. I do remember that with Grand Cru
I was able to remove front wheel without deflating (2" tires)
Of late I'v
I really like the Campagnolo cantis from a few years ago (made by Tektro I
believe). They are no longer made but come up occasionally. I have 2 pairs
and got both for around $80 dollars a while back. Here is what they look
like: https://www.evanscycles.com/campagnolo-cx-cantilever-brakes-EV15386
I've had the same Tektro 720s on my Atlantis for years. I use the super
thin red Kool Stop pads. They've worked through everything and the thin
pads allow you to clear big tires easily. They're relatively affordable and
the silver looks classy on the Atlantis.

+1 on Shimano CX-50. No complaints. That said, I prefer V-brakes. More
powerful and easier to set up. Some people complain about a lack of
modulation with V-brakes, but I think there is enough once you get used to
them -- just requires a lighter touch.

Shimano CX-70 (no longer in production) are the best I've used for stopping
power, modulation, and feel. I believe the CX-50 is the same functional
brake, and is a bargain, in my estimation. If you want to spend even less,
I would go with the Tektro CR 710.

Yeah, if you can some XC Pro cantilevers by all means do. They open ALL the
way, as in past the frame. If a Kool-Stop pad gets in the way of the front,
chop off the rear @ the rear notch. You'll know how far you can go as there
is an internal metal frame in the pad. File it off smooth. I love
Shimano cx-50.
