As others have eluded to, the M12 canti-stud mounting method is not a
plug-n-play with Suntour XC Pro cantilever brakes. The issue here is that
the brake mounting bolt is recessed, while the M12 requires a flat
"platform" to attach to. So you can try any brake that does not
use recessed mountin
I was looking at some photos of the installed XC cantis, and they are
definitely made for a short saddle cable. It looks like, though, if you
extend the pad position toward the max, you can use a bit longer straddle
cable and still have good braking load.

Greg is right. The Nitto double bolts do not work with Suntour XC canti's, I've
tried. You will have to get something different. The IRD ones work well, much
better than the Tektro models IMO.

I just used the regular brake bolt mounting an M12 to my Quickbeam. No
experience with the Suntour brakes, though.

I don't have a set in front of me at the moment, but my recollection is that
the mounting bolt is recessed in the XC pro, and so the Nitto bolt adaptor does
not work with these brakes. And that explains why I have an unused set in my
parts box.

When I ran cantis on my Atlantis, I used the Tektro CR-720 with the
straddle cable just a bit above the rack stud that goes thru the fork
crown. Later I went to V-brakes and the rubber boot on the cable actually
hangs up a bit on the stud but hasn't worn thru and the brakes work well.
M12 is made to mount on canti or v-brake studs. You have to replace the
existing stud with this part: http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/rh2.htm
