What cantilever brakes for 55mm and 75mm Canti boss center distances?
I'm looking for new or used, current or vintage, Cantilever brakes. The center distances on the cantilever studs are narrow: 55mm on the fork and 75mm on the seat stays. I'll be using a 22.5mm wide rim and 28 to 32 mm wide tires.
I like Tektro CR 720 cantilever brakes, but I'm unsure if these will work with the narrow 55mm stud centers.
What should I use and why.
Thanks'
