While we're back on cantilever brake adjustment, a quick question that's been on my mind. I have the Tektro CR720 brakes which are very wide - so wide in fact that the arms point out perpendicular from the rims. In most diagrams on cantilever adjustment (including Sheldon's), the arms stick much closer to vertical - parallel to the rims.

Question: Does this have any effect on Sheldon's (or other people's) advice on how to set up the brake cables? Does the same rule still apply - raise the yoke cable (further from tyre) for less MA, lower it for more?
