Thanks Manny. I owe my life to Paul's and that is my default position, but the Rodriguez design is very interesting and their overall comparison of V brakes, disk brakes, and cantis rings true for me. Except for the part about ease of setup. I have found some cantis really easy and some to be nightmarishly difficult. I suppose if you work in a shop you get past that. I'll need to ponder this.
