Re: [RBW] Tektro CR720 canti brakes

2010-06-23 Thread Robert F. Harrison
I've got 'em on my Quickbeam and they are just fine. I generally am
commuting and they give great quick stopping power in traffic. I've also had
my QB loaded up for camping and have gone down some hills with lots of extra
weight, no problem controlling my speed. I've been thinking about getting a
set for my beater bike.

Aloha!

I put a set on my Crosscheck about 18 months ago, i like 'em. Very
easy to set up, i'd say biased more toward modulation than
v-brake-like power (though that's a subjective thing) but plenty
strong enough even for cyclocross racing. I've occasionally had a bit
of fork shudder with them under some circumstances, but it's rare. I
just recently had to replace the original pad cartridges in the rear,
so probably 2,000 miles on them. I haven't had a rack on that bike
since switching to these brakes, so i can't comment on that.
