Which canti brakes do you have? Low profile or high profile? integrated straddle hangers suck for this reason alone. integrated hangers were made for ease of assembly not for flexibility in setup.
Get a non integrated straddle hanger or if you have low profile brakes go with high profile brakes which allow a higher straddle cable placement. On my high profile cantis have the straddle hanger placed at about the bottom headset cup (650b wheel) well out of the way to cause interference. Braking performance is fantastic snappy and no feeling of sponge.
