In case you don't really like V-brakes (I don't), you can get a fork-
crown mounted cable hanger for cantis from Tektro, which will solve
the bar adjustment issue. Very slick and eliminates brake squeal, too.
But not compatible with a Nitto Mini Front. :(

My Oursons came in today. They look just great. I like the Panaracer
packaging (heat sealed plastic bag). Minimalist, yet keeps them
clean, and I imagine keeps them protected from aging somewhat.
Now the question is whether to start riding them right away or keep
them packaged up for later?
My Oursons have 1,300 mi (on a Saluki) on them and show very little wear, if
any. At 65 PSI, they are a reasonably fast road tire that still has a forgiving
nature over chipseal. At 50 PSI they are a very comfortable multi-surface tire.

V brakes had their place in the evolution of braking IMO. For big
knobby tired bikes( 2.3 inches+) they were better than poorly adjusted
canti's. On those same MTB bike they have been replaced by disc brakes
almost exclusively. A well adjusted good quality cantilever brake is
just as powerful
I have to disagree with some of the statements.
V-brakes are just easier not to screw up during setup (fewer
adjustments, fewer things to setup wrong), thats really the only major
advantage, there is a small leverage benefit but canti's have better
modulation in general.

Basically every improvement in bicycle components design over the last
two decades has been to make build ups faster. They may or may not improve
things on the bike, usually neutral at best. Consider the following:

I love 'em. I used them once last week and again today. Today's use was an

slightly trickly damp ankles. That's the gold standard for me.
In general they are a great compromise between protection and convenience.
