Help, I'm seeking brakes to fit a fork with narrow 55mm wide cantilever post centers.
I'm trying to fit brakes to a fork with narrow 55mm wide post centers combined with 22.5mm wide rims. I need suggestions for cantilever brakes with short arms and highly adjustable pad placement or I will need suggestions for V-brakes, if cantilevers are not going to fit. Both the angle of the pad and the height of the pad needs to be adjustable.
It's a steel vintage Cyclocross bike so appearance matters. Silver is required. I'll be using Vintage Shimano 600 brake levers, the early non-aero ones.
What brake models should I look for?
