Best of the pre V Brake Cantis... a thread that may of been done to to death

It's an absolute pain as I find the M900 with their levers (or later Servowave pattern levers) to be the best.
Fit and forget, fit Vbrake style stud blocks so you can slide in new pads.
Honestly the best setup I've had through the years.
I find SS7 and PC9 (check number) lever comfy too, the PC version bing better but uglier.
987 are nice, I find them not quite as good as the M900s, but I think that down to bushings being used.

All the others are just crapper or a variation of the 987 as Dicompe probably made them anyway.

Maybe bar the later Avid, but I've not used them.

As above.
I know it might 'brake' retro rules,but while building an unstealable bike for one of the kids,
I fitted the cantis with some Vbrake pads and some Avid speed dial 7 levers. They worked very well.
