Best cantilevers ever
By Jack Gregory
After years of dealing with weak brake performance on my CX bike, I heard some reviews of these on the net, and I have to say they are as good as caliper road brakes. Very good design, very good feel. I would not have wanted to descend a mountain on my old Shimano cantis, but these are everything. And all screeching is gone. These are the best. I first just bought the front ones as a test, but immediately order the rear ones after a single ride.

Nice looking and works well
By myopinion
I bought both the front and back so the review is for both. These are some of the nicest looking Cantilever brakes I've seen. I'm not too mechanical but was able to install them and adjust them myself (so far so good). Nice and easy to control and fade. I'm sure it doesn't have the same stopping power as disc, but if you pulled hard enough it'll lock your tires just the same. Anyways, why would you ever want to stop on a dime if you're travelling at a decent pace? You know you'd just flip over if you did that. One star off for being so darn expensive.

By Robert Cawthorne
Can't beat the quality or stopping power of these brakes! Not a fan of the new disk brake "revolution" (none the top 10 elite men had disk brakes at cyclocross worlds this year).
