There are cantilevers, then there are cantilevers, ye olde high profile Mafac/Paul Neo retro need strong hands, low profile like Avid Shorty 6 or Paul Touring setup with the shortest practical straddle cable will equal or exceed V brakes.
Cyclocross magazine did the test, hanging a fixed weight from a straddle cable and measuring the clamping force of the brakes using a scale, simple repeatable. The varied the straddle cable length, shorter = more ummphh on low profile brakes, high profile brakes power varied little with different straddle cable lengths. Bravo to the magazine for doing quantifiable testing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
