On the eBay, even the old Alivio / STX / LX low profile cantis work great and can be had cheap cheap cheap. With the right set of tools and instructions (e.g. an Allen key, a 10mm box wrench, a rubber band for toe-in, and maybe a 3-rd hand tool), set up can be systematic and trouble-free. Using the “cross” pads in posted holders means you can simply slide new pads in as they wear.
Of the newer choices, Tektro 720 are fine, Shimano CX-50 are good, too. TRP or Avid Ultimate Shorty have their followers and are not quite as pricey as Paul. I do like the direct wiring and super simple set up of V / mini-V brakes more than all this extra stuff of cable stops and straddle wires, but choice of suitable drop bar brake levers can be quite limited. - Max “they all work, might as well try and see what you like” in A2 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
