looking to buy new cantis for my cross set up. hopefully, this is somethign that i'll be riding for a while. so my options are
cheaper tektro oryx brakes (set for $26)
something more expensive, like froglegs (~$100 for the set)
or i can blow all my money on pauls ($150 for set).
i guess my question is whether brakes that cost as much as my frame can really be a sensible purchase, and if the tektro stuff won;t work just as well.
i was also looking at the newest tektro brakes that i saw in a post here, but there's nowhere that seems to have them instock.
