I, too, have a 48cm Hunqapillar with CX70 Cantis and the Nitto Mini. Now,
on my fork, I have to use the Tektro Fork-Crown mounted cable stop to
prevent chatter and moaning. I tried a million different setups -- v
brakes, pads, etc. Nothing else stopped the noise. I have a dia-comp
I'm using CX-70s with a Paul straddle yoke set just above the crown hole
mount of a Nitto M-12 and I think it works great, but I'm not that picky
about canti straddle cable heights.

Hi Bob B:
I have a 48cm Hunqapillar with CX70 cantis and sometimes a Mini Front Rack.
Brakes work great (and I much prefer CX70 over the Tektro CR720s they
replaced).

Garth or anyone else: have you tried
Hi Ginz,
I wouldn't recommend the low profile type of canti's as the high yoke
does reduce the mechanical advantage. On my Bombadil with a front mount
Mark's rack I tried the CR720's, Sun Tour XC Pro's, and Shimano M730's and
MC70's(from 1983). I the XC Pros were the only low profile, and
I had both a Marks Rack and now a Mini mounted on my SH (bought the
Marks incorrectly), i think you will have a harder time getting the
yoke low enough with the Marks. I have IRD cantis with the Mini Front
now, and i think the yoke is too high, front-brake does not have the
lever feel that the
Thanks, Minh. I was wondering if the IRDs might be wide enough to
create the right mechanical advantage. I guess they are not. I
propose a bracket for the Mark's rack with a big square opening for
the straddle cable.
Many of the photos on the Rivendell site show the small front racks
with
I have IRD cafams paired with a similar Nitto M12 rack (crown hole
mounted). The IRDs work perfectly, very powerful - my first choice
canti brake. I use a regular hanger and straddle cable instead of the
Y-wire that comes with the brakes. The Y-wire will probably
interfere with the rack mount
I'm running Paul touring cantilevers with Cane Creek levers on my
Allrounder. They have a great feel and the straddle cable clears the
mini-rack's strut just fine. It looks like the IRD's have similar geometry.
There's no good front-on shots here, but you can see the setup in profile:
Thanks, J. I'll try the Shimano/Paul setup and see how it feels.
I thought of attaching the Mark's Rack to the Hunq's rack bosses on
the fork blades. Maybe the nitto diving board struts would work.
Anyone tried this or similar?

Yes super solid. Since the struts can be mounted inside/outside of the
rack, it took me a number of tries to get the perfect one for this bike
but once I figured it out it's awesome :)
