I'm not into loaded touring and I never will be, but I'm curious.
Pretty convenient for getting super wide tires and fenders in. I also found that it was pretty easy to bolt a nice front rack to cantilever studs. I have't been able to ride a bike with really awesome dual pivots, but I've never had a ton of problems with cantis.
