Re: [RBW] Shimano CX70s
I am impressed with the CX70 canti's. My favorite part of these are the nicely made pivots which eliminate play on the canti stud - makes for solid and quiet braking. I use dura salmon pads with a little toe-in. Setting these up is relatively straight forward as canti brakes go. I bent the springs a little to give the right lever resistance. Compared to other canti's I've used: -similar function to Bruce Gordon canti's, but nowhere near as pretty. -a little better than the IRD Cafams, which are very nice. -much better than TRP EuroX and CR720s.

Re: [RBW] Shimano CX70s
Spend money on good brakes, and save money elsewhere. Better stoppers make riding more fun. On Thursday, August 9, 2012 3:49:47 PM UTC-4, Steve Park wrote: I am impressed with the CX70 canti's.

Re: [RBW] Shimano CX70s
There is a cheaper version, cx50, I think? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Shimano CX70s
The CX50 doesn't use standard interchangeable road pads. Art's Cyclery has the CX50 on clearance for $20. http://www.artscyclery.com/Shimano_CX50_Cantilever_Brake/descpage-SHBRCX50.html?crumb=RDMCOMPS Mitch Browne San Luis Obispo, CA Shimano CX50 Cantilever Brak On Monday, August 6, 2012 2:10:36 PM UTC-7, Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery wrote: There is a cheaper version, cx50, I think? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Shimano CX70s
I've got a set on a non-Riv bike and they work just fine. Since the bike they are on is my 26 wheeled constant evolution frame I'll probably put the CX70s on my Hunq when that arrives and swap the CR720 from the build kit to this project bike. In any case I didn't even have any trouble with squealing somehow managing to get it right the first time (which doesn't often happen with me). Do keep the various spaces and such though as I had to respace everything I went to a wider and stronger rim while building a new rear wheel. Good brakes though.

Pretty straightforward to install if you read the directions, but not exactly intuitive. Had a few problems with squeeling, but hard to say if they're particular to this brake or attributable to cantis in general - not enough of an expert to say for certain. Wheel removal is a breeze with these brakes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
