i think each have their uses, since you're comparing both on braze-ons, i don't think there's a huge difference in braking power, especially for recreational road riding. centerpulls are a bit easier to set up imo, but cantis are more convenient if you're using wide road tires (switching

Re: [RBW] Centerpulls vs. cantis

I think it is a matter of what you are doing. If you are just riding in terms of recreational, any kind of braking system (drum, disk, cantilever, etc) will work but in terms of expense, using typical cantilever, or caliper brake system is enough. On Mon, Apr 4, 2016 at 12:27 PM, Lungimsam
