Mafac cantis

Bit late to the thread but I use several Mafac Canti sets and find they are really good once set up and with Koolstop pads are as good or better than anything else available. On my Mercian and Jack Taylor I use them with Mafac levers. Really like them for feel and stopping power.

Hi Mike
Glad you liked them and they worked well for you.
Do you mean the hoods on my Mercian, well funny thing about them hoods.... I have a few Mafac levers on my bikes and a couple in the spares box. These are really nice and smooth and mainly very clean so put them on the Mercian when I built it back up with new bars etc. They are actually Dia Comp but as you may see in these photos that they are great from the front but are way too short at the bar, so bodged some bar tape but I plan to change them soon. I thought they were a better fit than the last lot of Rustines hoods I tried. The Dia Compe stay supple a lot longer too.
