If you swap cantilevers for V-brakes you'll also have to change the brake levers to V-brake compatible ones.

IMHO I would change the pads out to something like Kool Stop Salmon colored cantilever pads... a lot of times
that will make a huge difference in braking efficiency. The OEM cantilevers on your 615 GT should provide more
than enough stopping power.
