I'm running cantilevers on my 52cm Clem just fine. The original concept spec for the Clems also said either V or cantis worked great on it. I'm using a standard Tektro binder bolt hanger on the rear and the Tektro fork-mounted one on the front. Matter o'fact, here's a canti'd Clementine from th

I have cantis on my Clem as well. I'm considering the step-through Clementine specifically with the tight angle in the Riv photo. I have pulley already that has a built-in cable stop adjuster, curious if others have gone this route. It's certainly not a dealbreaker, if I decide on buying it the

I originally built my 2 Clementines with V brakes because I thought cable routing would be a issue for Cantilevers, but the long chain stays translate to reasonably uncluttered seat stays as well & because I don't like V brakes I quickly reverted to my trusty Canti's! I was able to snag a like

Looking at the Riv picture, it seems like a longer cable hanger for the rear (like the Nitto or Surly) would allow for a more gradual curve in the housing under the seat. On Thu, Jan 28, 2016 at 10:08 AM, Zed Martinez wrote: > I'm running cantilevers on my 52cm Clem just fine. The original conce

Thanks Tim. Somehow I hadn't seen Surly's hanger and now want that on my Clem too. It was a tight bend with the Tektro back there. On Thursday, January 28, 2016 at 11:51:59 AM UTC-5, Tim Gavin wrote: > > Looking at the Riv picture, it seems like a longer cable hanger for the > rear (like the Nit
