If you are using those link wires I would suggest ditching them for straddle cables and Problem Solvers Wide Cable Carriers instead. Makes it much easier to adjust the canti brakes. Leave the straddle cables as long as possible. You will need to make certain that there is something to catch the cables if the main brake cable parts or comes loose so the wire doesn't foul the tire and lock the brake, but a fender or existing reflector bracket or a piece of cord will suffice.
