Looking to rebuild the lovely Carrera frame that @wicket off here kindly gifted me. It has a u-brake. I hear these are a bit rubbish. Would the stanchions take a v-brake replacement?
U-brakes were pretty good, and well adjusted certainly comparable to a cantilever. However, they do need watching as the pad wears (as they can end up eating tyres).

if it's about brake power, you can use Magura HS too but mount the holder in opposite direction to fit to u-brake bosses, that usually works, also at the chain stays.
