Does anyone have suggestions for really light canti brakes?
I had to admit it, but I'm a ww.
I'm only aware of spooky and paul components.
Would like to hear others.

I just got some SRP Mr. Grumpy's. Suppossed to be about 165g. The SRP web site lists them as "The World's lightest Cyclocross Brakes".
Can't say much else about them. Have not gotten them on my bike yet.
Grumpy's, Spooky's and Empella's are pretty light but none of them have any toe-in adjustments, except if you use a large crescent wrench.
I have Paul's on one bike and Radius' on another; the Paul's work much better than the Radius' and have toe-in adjustment. If you can find them, the old Shimano's will work; I think Sheldon Brown might have 'em at Harris Cyclery.
