I just swapped out my XTR v brakes with travel agents for Tektro Oryxs on my Kona Major Jake. The breaking is far superior with the simple and inexpensive cantilevers. Even with the travel agents, I could not get enough leverage to stop the bike.
I am reconverted to the cantilevers. Plus, they were only $40 for the set.
