You are getting good advice on workarounds for this combination. I think you understand it, but I think for the benefit of others, it's worth stating that the Nitto M12 + Paul Cantilever brakes is not an ideal combination. The Nitto M12 was made to work with cantilever brakes that do not extend past the end of the cantilever posts. Did Compe DC980, recently sold by Rivendell are one of those models. Paul cantilever brakes can work awesome with a small front rack, but does best with rack models that have adjustable struts. The Rene Herse UD-2 is the best of those (and is manufactured by Nitto).
Folks can make that combo work, but it takes work to get good results. For those who are not yet stuck with that combination, there are other combos that work together more effortlessly.
