This is making me shudder to write (just like a noodly fork with canti brakes). You see, me and cantis don't get along very well, particularly me and shimano 90's cantis. My experience with them is that they squeal, shudder, honk like a crazy mad goose no matter how I try and set them up. Of course I have tried toeing in the pads, koolstop pads, pimped straddle wires etc. So either I'm rubbish at setting them up or my expectations of how they should work is too high.
Just thinking about those post mount pads and how much I dislike them is making me ANGRY causing my fingers to smash on the keyboard.
But I have a problem, I have a 94 frame to build up as my next project and it has a rear canti mount so I probably should fit canti brakes.
Does anyone have suggestions for a canti brake of the correct era that worked well? By worked well, I mean, reduced speed adequately without any associated honking, squealing, juddering.
Failing that, any suggestions for a canti brake that isn't of the correct era? I'm thinking maybe tektro oryx because they are readily available and have a road / v brake type cartridge pad set up so I would be able to use some swiss stop pads and not need the dexterity of an octopus to set them up.
I do have a some cx50's on a bike that are the best cantis I've used, however, fitting those to a '94 will hurt my eyes.
