Are modern cantilever brakes an improvement on old ?
Hi ,
I have an old mid eighties Koga Miyata touring bike with its stock shimano cantilevers . The Brake pads are worn and Im debating just buying a modern set of cantis(pads included of course ) as an upgrade instead of replacing the pads.
Im looking at the shimano cx 50 or 70
Not interested in V brakes or a new disc bike , I want to keep it cantis as it suits the style of bike.
So have cantis come on in the last 30 years or so ? Can I expect modern cantis to be noticeably better provided everything is set up correctly ?
