I have an old Stumpjumper with the original U brake still on it. I'm wanting to replace my entire braking system (since I also still have the original cantilever in the front and the motorcycle-style levers). I know a V-brake will work in the front but not quite sure what to put in the back (actually under the chainstays). I'm wondering if I can use a cantilever brake, or will it protrude in such a way that it contacts my crankarms? The bike is 17 years old but I just can't part with it, so I'm making a few upgrades.
