Spring tension? What would that have to do with how well the brakes stop the bike? Besides, spring tension is the same between the front and rear brakes.
My plan is this: - First try lowering the yoke as low as it will go on the Neo-Retros. I can do it since the Nitto Campee front rack I have doesn't have the strut connecting it to the fork crown. Note the difference if there is any. - Swap the Neo-Retros for the other set of Touring brakes, now that I have the low yoke. Note the difference - Since I also have a set of MiniMotos I bought to see if they fit on another bike, I may try them as well, but that would mean a potential recabling which I'm not sure I want to do. I've also been advised that they may not fit well with the 50mm fenders, so perhaps I'll just see how they fit first, before setting them up. It was suggested that if I wanted the ultimate braking power, I try the Motolites, although they'd require a new set of V-brake levers, which I'm not so hot on. Based on all my new learnings, I believe the Touring front and rear will take care of my "problem". I'd still want to know why the wide-profile cantilever brakes have persisted for so long...
