'95 Ibis mojo handjob Renovation

If you don't use a handjob stop on a bike that comes with one you are committing the most cardinal of sins.

V-brakes nowhere near this, please!

M900 would be nice on this. I'd run the whole group with an M950 RD in the back, so you can pretend you're a NORBA racer trying out a prototype mid-season!
It´s just a cable stop. If you want the superior m950 shifters.. you will run v brakes. Plus m950 looks so good against titanium. The only reason for cantilevers is big tire clearance since they are really annoying whenever you take the wheel off the bike.

I love the look of m950 against raw Ti as I did that on my last build but I’m going with m900 for this as I’ve not used it before. Agree about the canti/V brakes issues though

Yeah, or just find another bike to run them on.

It's one the most iconic cable stops of all time!

There are no issues. They'll look great, and they'll work just fine once dialed-in! ;)

I've never had a problem removing a wheel with a cantilever brake in my life.

And besides, if someone is problem adverse, they probably shouldn't be building vintage mountain bikes in the first place! ;)
