Something is wrong: Cheap old Cantilever is better than modern cheap V brakes? Top Line 93-94

Obviously, in order to be accepted as a ‘Retrobike’ a bike must have cantilevers (or older braking system).

V-brakes aren’t retro, they’re simply an unnecessary technology, filling a void between cantilevers and hydraulic discs.

Remove them, put them in the bucket of spares at the back of the shed, fit cantilevers and enjoy.

Its been a while since we had a cantis vs v brake discussion

Fight !!!

Must admit, I would rather like a set of T780 v brakes

I use them on my " modern" touring bike. Mainly because somebody gave me 8 sets of original shimano pads for them....im trying to use them up!
