I have a Sam Hill with Tektro CR720's. They have a brass bushing that pivots on the canti post. There is a lot of play in the pivot due to the bushing being larger in diameter and shorter in length than the post, which means it can wobble back and forth and side ways. It does not pose a problem when braking at moderate to high speed, but when slowing to a stop at low speed, like coasting with the brakes on into the driveway at a few MPH, the fork shutters almost uncontrollably. This is a 60 cm SH so the cable stops is way above the brakes due to the long headtube, but the issues is mostly slop in the pivots more so than the issue that Leonard Zinn referred to due to th ecable stop being way above the brakes.
Have any other SH owners run into this problem. I would imagine that other Rivendell owners would also experience this assuming that the same canti posts are likely used on all models. Any suggestions on how to improve the situation, preferrably by reducing play at the pivots. Otherwise, I really like the CR720 cantis with Kool Stop salmon pads.
