Hey Joel, I have a pair of CX50s that you can have if you pay the shipping. They’re in great shape, no issues. Let me know if you want them.

Re: [RBW] Cantilever brake recommendations
I have Tektro 720s on my Hillborne and they're okay. Their power is fine and their price is hard to beat, but they have limited adjustability. IRD Cafam are a nice brake with Paul-like adjustability (great!) but for their price you're too close to Paul pricing to not make the jump, IMO. As mentioned, old Shimano canti's work surprisingly well. Paired with good pads, you could just get an old set from a local community bike shop for a couple dollars and be done!

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.

I like CX50s for clarity of setup. They work well, and they look okay. They are pretty cheap, compared to those Suntour XCs. Once you’re talking $180 brake sets, you may as well pay $260 for Paul Minimotos. Easy setup, extremely awesome stopping power, and no brake judder.

I don’t think I need to go with V brakes (smack me if I am wrong), and I an unwilling to buy Paul’s due to price. I got a recommendation on Velo orange grand cru at $145 a set. Ant thoughts on what to use on an Appaloosa or Atlantis? If I use cantis I have a nice NOS set of Suntour levers, with V’s I start from scratch.
