I applaud the threadjackers here.
For my part, the only brakes that have NOT given me grief in the last...
12.5 years... are the V-brakes on my Bontrager. Disc, single-pivot and
dual-pivot sidepulls, cantis both high and low -profile have all laid me
out. the v-brakes are the only ones that
No such thing as living in a vacuum Peter M. What Lance, Clemens, Bonds, etc
did or didn't do impacted others professionally and financially.
Me? I really don't care. What racers do doesn't impact my commute, grocery runs
or bike camping experiences in the slightest :)

I'm with you Brewster, I just switched from cantis to Vs and I'm never
going back! All with the stock Shimano pads that came with the V-brakes,
too. My problems were most likely caused by my inability to set the cantis
up properly, but the squeal and shudder is gone and I have 100× better

OK, just kidding. My tandem came with mini-V brakes. They are not a
panacea because they take a lot of cable travel for road levers, so there
is very little tolerance for a rim that gets tweaked.
Here's a photo of a 2011 Bombadil I found of Flickr ... this looks good !

I don't seem to have made my point clear. During the deliberations, the
judge in Dallas admonished the USADA for having evidence too weak to be
heard in a a public prosecution against Armstrong. His decision was not
against that, but Armstrong's suit which he dismissed because an

Seems inevitable, really, either because Lance *is* guilty of doping or
because, by consistently beating others shown to have been doping, he so
tested the objectivity of the testing agencies that they could never be
happy until they convicted him. I doubt we've heard the last of this,
though. . .
What is also inevitable is a protest and appeal by the UCI. They have
protested the jurisdiction of the USADA since the case was introduced and
the judge in Dallas told the USADA they didn't have a case worthy of judge
to hear. Oh well, it seems the races are cleaner now, except for Bradley
Another huge waste of our tax dollars. The same with the Clemens trial. I I

That's not what the judge said according to all the news articles I saw. What
I saw reported was that the judge determined that USADA had jurisdiction and
that the case belonged in that process. In his opinion the court had no reason
to intervene- Lance brought it to court trying to get the

This has nothing to do with my continued frustration in adjusting the

OK, I'll start another war - forget cantis, Pauls or otherwise! Get
yourself some v-brakes or mini-vs if you're using road levers like Campy
ergos. Work way better than cantis with more stopping power and NO brake
chatter or shudder. Good Luck!

I would but I am attached to my dia comp levers as silly as it sounds. I
just don't like the look of v brake levers,why can't they do a more
classical design? I don't want to use a travel agent or anything like that
either. I guess I could do the mini motos, I only run hetres with 52 velo

Anyway ... it sounds like your yoke angle is too high . On a Bombadil,
FWIW .. I wouldn't recommend that style of brake. Wide profiles work best
on a Bombadil, from trying out various brakes types on mine.

I'm with Garth, check your yoke angle. I've got Paul Touring cantis on one
bike and feel they are very strong. In fact, just as strong as the V
brakes on my other bikes.
Otherwise, check the angle of the pads and arms. On long arm cantis, I
personally set up the brakes so when the pad hits,
