Due to the mounting point of the Trek 520 rack, it looks like canti's will result in my re-building the rack mounting system, probably with p-clamps. I think what I'm going to try is a Travel Agent adapter for the rear brake, and the CR720 for the front brake. I will still need to slightly re-route one of the rack mounting bars to clear the TA wheel, but that's easy enough with some aluminum bar stock. Once I have one CR720 on hand I will examine how much of a pain in the neck the rear brake will be.
