If you look at that break it is the same thing as a cantilever which never worked well. Adding leverage may improve it but there CERTAINLY can't be a better rim brake than the latest Campy Skeleton brake. |

I would counter that brazed mounts for a Mafac Raid (a wildly popular brake at the time) was a logical improvement at negligible upcharge on an artisan custom frame of the era. I started avidly bicycling in the era of centerpull brakes - ones with rather long arms, to give clearance for 1 1/4" tires plus fenders. Those were very flexible indeed. As a newbie, I remember seeing in one mail order catalog a touring bike being sold with centerpull brakes mounted on brazed-on studs, as is done with cantilever brakes. I'd never heard of such a thing, but I could see that would make things considerably more rigid. Eventually, before a re-paint, I brazed mounts onto that old Raleigh's forks and stays, for Shimano 600 short arm cantilevers. I think these are probably more rigid than the centerpulls would have been, if mounted on similar studs. That bike just got back from a heavily loaded grocery run. The brakes still work fine, decades later. -- - Frank Krygowski |

I can stop my FULLY LOADED cantilever brake touring bike or my cantilever equipped MTB very well in the dry or in the wet. Indeed the limiting factor of braking with my cantilever brakes isn't the stopping power of the brakes but is the road surface. On many roads and trails my tires will start sliding because the cantilever brakes are capable of locking them up. Cheers |

It is just a lever with on one end the actuation and on the other end the brake pad. Only leverage , stiffness an brake pad material can vary (to some extend). Hydraulic disk brakes are fundamental different. Lou |
