Repeating what others have already said: make sure you're taken advantage of the full range of adjustment available from shifting spacers and spherical washers, first. The attached diagram from Kool Stop is informative.
If you do decide to switch to cantis, one thing to know is that the shape of Paul neo retros actually does not work that well with unusually wide rims. ( Or unusually narrow boss spacing - which is an approximate standard that's increased over the years.) Compare the neo retro to the Dia Compe 980, which is similar. If you draw an imaginary line through the center of the pivot, where it bolts to the boss, and parallel to the face of the arm where the pads attach, and then measure the perpendicular distance between those two lines, you'll see what I mean. The pad mounting face on the Paul brakes is offset toward the rim pretty substanially. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
