I'm no expert, but my experience, such as it is, says that well set up canti brakes have better modulation than V brakes which, like all the 3 sets of BB7 discs I've used, tend to be "snatchy" -- tho' this is all more of an academic discussion point than a real problem. That is to say, the grabby nature of V's and cable discs is noticeable but not problematical.
Yes, I agree, cable hangars are a pain, and I personally have always hated setting up cantilevers with road bars and levers. That said, the best brakes I've ever used, bar none -- and this "none" includes everything from cable disks thru Altenberger dual pivots to Dura Ace centerpulls to Bowden-cable-rod-brake hybrids -- were the IRDs wide profiles set up by Riv on my erstwhile Sam. Braking paradise; after I sold that bike, I had to come back to merely earthly braking performance. On Fri, Dec 20, 2019 at 3:36 PM Joe Bernard <joerem...@gmail.com> wrote: > Ok, let's roll that out.
