Help me choose the right brakes for my Dawes Galaxy.

Also are those not m737 cantilevers?

If you can find them, there is a shimano 600 cantilever brake that solves the narrow boss problem

I will sort a picture later

These are the original brakes (I may put back on)

These Shimano 600 wide profile cantis? (on a bike I just got hold of, hence the ming)

I'd refit those, problem solved.

Maybe (they did work well) I just wanted something more modern looking I guess

It's a Dawes galaxy, not exactly cutting edge

No bad thing either.

I’ve only had Shimano 600 Cantilever once in my life, which definitely would solve the problem but they needed extra short shoes which were nowhere available. The shoes are fitted on the back, as shown in the picture, usual ones interfere with the forks.

Back of the pad/holder hitting the fork isn't the end of the world as long as there is clearance enough to the rim.

Help me choose the right brakes for my Dawes Galaxy.
