ok, i feel like this is going to end with me missing something obvious. i
just got the cx-70 brakes to avoid having to deflate/squeeze my 700x50
tires everytime i want to take the wheels off. im not so new to cantilever
brakes but somewhat new to big tires that prevent easy on and off.

I have had good luck using the release on Tektro brakes with the CX-70. Not
sure I could get the straddle off without that slack.

Here's another option that adds a quick release function to the brake
line. I have one of these installed on a bike with center pulls and it
works great. I like non-aero brakes so the Tektro levers aren't my firs
I haven't seen one of those QRs since my wife's 1978 Raleigh mixed bike.!
It did work fine. I'll bet they went out with CPs but may be poised for a
comeback with CPs.

I've been using CX-70 cantis for at least the past 6 months on my
Hunqapillar. I don't use the Shimano link-wire thing, and instead use a
regular straddle hanger yoke.

I use the CX-70 as the front brake on my Miyata commuter. Two observations:
1. fit/finish, and feel is good in my opinion - better modulation than the
CR720s or V-Brakes I've used (Deore, XT).
2. the hanger and cable attachment on these are more complicated than they
need to be.

I have similar issues with the vintage Shimano XT-M730 cantilevers on my
KOM--if I have the pads as close as I like for nice, strong braking, I
can't pull enough slack on the straddle cable to remove the QR end from the
canti arm.
For me, the QR button on the Tektro TRP RRL levers gives me the rig
Replace just the pads Mike, Shimano road pads or *any* other brand Shimano
road compatible pad . The lesser CX-50 does not use cartridge pads fwiw
and are specific to that brake only .
