Re: [RBW] Interrupters must be V-brake/disk specific
I bought some Tektro RX6 v-brakes from that seller. They were good to deal with. The brakes appeared new, but came in a clear plastic bag, not a Tektro box, so I think this seller might have some source for OEM parts or other bulk purchases. The RX6's are not available from any other source in the US as far I could find, even though they are listed on the Tektro US website.

Re: [RBW] Interrupters must be V-brake/disk specific
Thanks for the info on the Tektros. As for liking cantis: I am almost entirely incompetent when it comes to setting up cantilevers: I've never been able to get them to work properly with road bars, at least anything except the ancient, high profile Shimaos that came with my (soon to be sold; buyer has put down a deposit on it) tricycle. These things work fine with original, 20 year old pads. But the best brakes I've used were the Riv installed IRCs on the Sam Hill I bought from them: as powerful as V brakes (my standard for grippiness), much better at modulation. The Mafac cantis I used were useless, both the "regular" model and the longer armed tandem model: this both with original Mafac levers, modern Tektro aero levers and with new, salmon pads. Very odd, since these were, I gather, the standard back in the day.

Tektro makes V-brake interruptors. Riv used to sell them, but unfortunately they stopped offering all V-brake equipment entirely recently.

They feel jist like shorty mountain bike levers and have more stopping power than the primary levers did with my old canti brakes.
