The CX-50, in addition to a fixed straddle cable has spacers for the pads.
You measure the cantilever post spacing, measure your rim width, and
consult a table (a PDF on the Shimano site) to choose the best pad spacer.
I have these brakes, they work great, and I may have paid $30 for a
Economically/practically speaking:-
V brakes will probably offer the best stopping power, ease of set up and value.
Depending on what levers you use and if long pull would present an option.
Deore level V's etc.
I have CR720 cantis on a couple of bikes and am pleased with them. Kool Stop
I'm curious about others' opinions about the IRD Cafam/Cafam2. I've used a
fair number of cantis, have never been able to set them up well with drop
levers myself (a deficiency shared by some of the local shops I've used; so
perhaps the fault lies in some of the designs), but the best brakes I can
I'd be very surprised indeed if the cx70 had more power than the Rene
Herse cantilever. The low profile design is noted for losing power as
the pads get closer to the rim.
Low profile cantilevers like this are very sensitive to straddle cable
adjustment, whereas mid-profile cantilevers like
Oh man,
Those compass ones look super nice but I’d take the setup and power of the
cx70/50 any day over those any day. I’m no expert mechanic but I’ve used cantis
that with the way the compass ones do and, for me, they are a big pain. At this
point I

CX50s are still available and functionally the same as CX70. But the answer for
power and ease of setup (and no cable stops at headtube and seat clamp) is
