Dumb question about cantilever brakes?!

Received the froggleg ones from Zepnat. Not really suitable. The adjustable barrels are far too big for Kona Curve brakes.

Will see what the ones from the states are like when they turn up.

Here's one of the US ones that you ordered. The brakes are very similar to Curves.

They are called solderless nipples and are available for a couple of pound from Motorbike/scooter shops or eBay:

Seeing as those solderless nipples were so cheap, I've ordered a couple of those too. Will report back when it all turns up!

Ok. My recommendation, having tried these out, for Kona Curve is this guy from the states:

Failing that, solderless nipples are also fine. 7mm variety is what you want.

Cyclocross ones are too big.
