Forgive my assumption. but I suspect that like several of my retrobiking comrades, I am somewhat heavier than I was when cantilever brakes were all the rage.
I've been used to V brakes and then the witchcraft-like stopping power of those circular disc type things in recent times.
However, in a vain attempt to re-live my mis-spent youth, bunny hopping fallen logs in Grizedale Forest on a canti clad P7, I am equipping my latest build with DX brakes of said type (please note that here I am resisting the urge to mock the common evil bay usage of the term break leaver!).
Therefore, to enable me to bring my pie and real ale ravaged body to a halt from a less than mind-bending velocity, i would appreciate some input as to the most effective type of canti/rim rubber interface.
I thank you in anticipation of your piss taking but most appreciated and valuable input
