The only conclusion (?) I can get from this tire discussion on Susie / Gus & possibly Clems is - get a duplicate set of wheels. One for pavement / gravel, and a dedicated set for MTB with proper knobbies. Anything less seems a compromise? Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 30, 2022, at 12:14 PM,

Hi Matthew, I agree with Phillip and Collin; why switch to cantis when your existing V brakes appear to work fine? If it's the desire to experiment or just make a change, well, we've all been down that road — and I'm often on it! A friend of mine has a canti braked Appaloosa (very nice

I agree and would love to see a RH tire in a larger size. So many of us would I imagine! I remember reading that Panaracer is not able to make a larger tire for them so I don’t know if it will happen. A 2.6 version would sell like hotcakes I think! On Sunday, October 30, 2022 at 9:14:20 AM

I've used cantilevers since the early 80's and while there are distinctions among brake models, how it is set up, the frame mounts themselves, brake cable and housing setup, and finally the riders own sensibilities, all play their part in the experience of braking. In other words, there's no

You should keep the v brakes. They already are on the bike, they’re quite powerful, they are more out of the way of panniers, and aren’t affected by rack-top stuff pushing on a cable. Philip Sonoma County, Calif On Saturday, October 29, 2022 at 4:09:17 PM UTC-7 Matthew Williams wrote: > Hi
