Canti's on an RC200 F3

[Tallpaul]

Are F3's designed for Canti's or U-Brakes?

Mine has Canti studs but no slots to retain the tension springs for the canti's themselves. :?

Ok, so they're defo canti mounts

They sit below the rim so Sheldon says they are for canti as u-brake mounts would sit above.

Question remains that the studs are spaced out from the frame by washers, but nowhere are there the usual 3 holes for the canti tension spring to be slotted. :?

Sound like they're designed for flash cantis with bushings that can be adjusted to set the spring tension. Off the top of my head: Graftons 'spring' to mind, but there'll be a thousand others too.

But if you want to run normal cantis, I've seen washer type things with offset holes on RC35s so maybe you could find a pair of these.

Ah, like Onza HO's too then. The ones where you have a slim 15mm nut behind the canti

A quick rummage reveals a NOS set of Suntour XC canti's that will do the job perfectly
