Spend money on good brakes, and save money elsewhere. Better stoppers make riding more fun. On Thursday, August 9, 2012 3:49:47 PM UTC-4, Steve Park wrote: > > I am impressed with the CX70 canti's. > My favorite part of these are the nicely made pivots which eliminate play > on the canti stu

I am impressed with the CX70 canti's. My favorite part of these are the nicely made pivots which eliminate play on the canti stud - makes for solid and quiet braking. I use dura salmon pads with a little toe-in. Setting these up is relatively straight forward as canti brakes go. I bent the

Thanks, everyone. If the CX70's take standard "dura type" inserts, then that is very nice. I'm still in a bit of sticker shock. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.googl

The CX50 doesn't use standard interchangeable road pads. Art's Cyclery has the CX50 on clearance for $20. http://www.artscyclery.com/Shimano_CX50_Cantilever_Brake/descpage-SHBRCX50.html?crumb=RDMCOMPS Mitch Browne San Luis Obispo, CA Shimano CX50 Cantilever Brak On Monday, August 6, 2012 2:10

There is a cheaper version, cx50, I think? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rbw-owners-bunch/-/uj8yXyRHkmUJ. To post to this group, send email to rbw-ow

I've got a set on a non-Riv bike and they work just fine. Since the bike they are on is my 26" wheeled constant evolution frame I'll probably put the CX70s on my Hunq when that arrives and swap the CR720 from the build kit to this "project bike." In any case I didn't even have any trouble with sque

I have the CX70s on my Hunq with no issues. Pretty straightforward to install if you read the directions, but not exactly intuitive. Had a few problems with squeeling, but hard to say if they're particular to this brake or attributable to cantis in general - not enough of an expert to say for ce

Is anyone running the new Shimano CS70 canti brakes? They look interesting with the linear springs but the pads don't seem to be standard. I would hate to give up on my salmon koolstop pads. They are about half the price of Pauls and might be a good option. Any thoughts? Ginz -- You receiv
