The Kool Stop Dura Cartridge holders (for caliper brakes) when new are completely self-aligning - they come from the package with a concave shape that automatically aligns toe and flatness (if you follow the directions). It's because of the nifty spherical washer and ball socket which Grant even bows to in his Yokozuna catalog listing. These have never made a squeak for me once broken in added a whole new dimension in stopping power.
