No way, my sons and my wife's bikes got normal v brakes and it is a tight fit
with fenders. I had the same problem like you, I went for Paul touring cantis,
they are much stronger.

Shoji,
I saw long pull under the Product Description section of this Amazon
page:
http://www.amazon.com/Shimano-BR-CX70-Cyclocross-Cantilever-Brake/dp/B0063R26VK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8qid=1407852028sr=8-2keywords=Shimano+cx70+brake
Maybe it's a typo, or maybe I am confused about what long pull
Was just reading on the Shimanos. Looks like the recent versions require
long pull levers. Can anyone confirm this from experience? What I would
like to hear is that the brakes will work with regular road levers without
any extra hardware.
Thanks,

Which Shimano brakes? The CX70s (cantilevers, which Riv sells) use regular
levers. I have them on my Hunqapillar, and they are terrific.

I have Neo-Retros on my Hunq, and after much fiddling and consulting of
Sheldon Brown's canti articles I have concluded that I can't get the
straddle cable low enough to overcome the brakes' inherent low mechanical
advantage. I live on top of a steep hill, in a wet climate, so this
