Jan - just curious whether or not it would be worthwhile to throw linear-pull brakes into the mix of various rim brakes for comparison. If I'm not mistaken, the main reason these "V-brakes" were developed in the first place was because of cable routing problems on certain MTB frames, especially those with dual suspensions. However, my experience has been that the longer metal arms of linear-pull vs. the wire associated with cantilevers seem to give a more "solid" feel to the braking effort. Any thoughts?
