I use only cantilevers and basically will always ! Good ol' smooth post cantilevers that clear the frame as opened and open all the way. No silly overly long and offset pads that add nothing to the braking performance. I take a certain delight(albeit comical and always good for a laugh in just thinking it), in denigrating v-brakes and certain cantilever designs, including making/selling/defending frames without rear cable stop bridges. Call it what you will, as so have I. ((( laughing ))) Nevertheless, it stands. I could also speak about how "the industry" is their own worst enemy, in fact, their only enemy and the customer but a witness.
I remember not long ago before the Clem Riv couldn't give a v-brake away. Then with disc brakes becoming the thing, and dwindling proper canti manufacture and design , it didn't leave them much choice as the frame was a sales hit. It's like drinking a brand of beer you really don't like, but because the wife loves it, and you love the wife's company, you swallow your taste buds, one bitter chug at a time. "Ain't this beer great ? said with crooked broken smile and whose eyes betold another story. What's life without a couple of good ol' stories ? .... teeheehee . So sure Max, Anything but a cantilever on your Bombadil would leave you without any brake at all :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
