Re: [RBW] Tektro CR720 canti brakes
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 am assuming since Riv carries them that they do not > suck but would like other opinions. 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. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
