This is a good take. I'm weary of any claim that a given high quality cantilever brake is objectively better than the rest. Of the high quality options, pick one that fits your frame requirements, aesthetics, and/or mechanical aptitude. Even the lower quality ones can be coaxed to work well enough.
I avoided smooth post type for a while but came into a nice set for very cheap that fit my builds aesthetics (Shimano M373). I've figured out how to set them up properly and now they work as well or better than any other model I've used.

I've got a couple extra sets stashed away. Used > sets can be pricey, but sub $60 is very fair. Will likely need new pads. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
