We didn't really have V-brakes in this era. Only right at the end.
One year for most people, two years if you could splash out.
Canti pad set up - what tricks do you use?

Thos who ride 2.3 tires and regularly pull their wheels off the bike for any reason have met the flaw of v brakes: lack of clearance. Cantis don´t have this problem.
Also avid v brake pads are nasty against rims. i hav lost more than on beautifull mavic rim to the grinding compound of those avid v brakes.
Well set cantis give me power and modulation.
Unless it´s raining on a cold day. Then it´s discs or leave cycling alone.

And interesting to see in these instructions the "Shimano TL-CB10 Pro-Set Cantilever Brake Adjustment Tool Gauge Set". I'd never noticed these before. Still available nice and cheap in the US on ebay for circa $5, but then another $25 for the shipping to the UK.
