Direct facing photos of both front and rear would be useful ! This may help : http://www.bikeforums.net/recreational-cyclocross-gravelbiking/722673-cantilver-brake-faq.html
I suspect and adjustment of the straddle wire would help. The basic straddle carriers are wonderful as they are much more flexible in setup. I've found any of the fixed ones are too limiting. Also, detach the straddle cable from the brake and hold it down at the carrier with one hand, and activate the brake with the other, it should feel smooth and without resistance. Cables and their routing angles all play a part in this and a resistance-free setup here is the foundation for any brake performing at it's best. A higher priced brakes is no more of a gauge of quality of braking than mid or even lower priced ones. Setup and pads are everything ! My favorite brakes are still the 80's post style cantilever Shimano or Suntour . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
