Daniel's statement makes some sense- "but there are significant benefits to long-pull brakes, both rim and mechanical disc, in that the cable is under less tension so the cable stretches less and the housing compresses less as a result." That's enough of a reason to never use cantilevers again. I use Avid Speed Dial levers for the adjustable pull built in to the lever. Currently all set on long pull and that's how they'll stay. Glad the last time I spent a lot on cantilevers was 1990 -Kai
