Default Cantilever Cable yoke

Hey all,
I have just been having a bit of a read up on Sheldon Browns ideas on
cantilever brakes. My set up is currently Avid Shorty 6 calipers and
shimano ultegra levers. Am I better off using the shimano A or C type
straddle wire, or would i be better off buying an old fashioned two
piece yoke?


Two piece yoke?
Dunno what that is but I long ago fitted a one piece centre-pull type yoke
to cantis. The benefit is, assuming no mudguards, that you can keep the
straddle wire short which gives a less spongy feel to the brakes and
probably increases mechanical advantage.
