I'm putting together an LHT with brifters. I'm deciding on brakes and I looked at the Shimano BR-R550's but I've heard a lot of complaints about them. Anyone use the new CX70 canti's yet? I figure if they're for cyclocross they ought to have good braking power. Will be running fat tires and probably fenders.

Am I the only one that thinks Vbrakes are just plain ugly.
