Not sure why people are suggesting V brakes, as properly set up cantis have better stopping power. That said, Velo Orange brakes are nothing more than relabeled TRP brand brakes. I bought a set of their cantis and there's a hex socket on the front used to hold the pads from moving while adjusting/tightening the nut on the back side. I think they made that part out of metal colored plastic or something, since it completely rounded out on the first install of these brakes.

VO's cantis are total CRAP compared to cheaper and MUCH easier to adjust brakes such as Avid Shorty brakes. Plus the Avid Shorty doesn't require a huge wrench to adjust, just a hex key.

I whole-heartedly do NOT recommend the VO canti brakes. Thier caliper brakes look alright, but probably won't work on your CC, and you wouldn't want that anyway.

V-brakes would also be a downgrade from properly adjusted canti brakes.

Get some Koolstop Salmon pads, adjust the cantis properly and you should be easily able to lock both wheels at will on dry pavement, which is the limit of braking ability anyway. If your brakes can lock the wheels on dry pavement, better brakes won't provide more stopping power. Better brakes may provide more modulation, but properly adjusted canti brakes provide plenty of modulation, too.
