Adore, I love my Pauls'. Infinity adjustable, great design, super powerful. Kind of expensive. I have heard that people really like the newish Tektro CR 720. You can get them at cyclocross world.

Personally, from experience, I would avoid the fancy euro style ones. Yeah, they might be a little lighter or what have you, but it totally isn't worth it when you spend hours trying to dial them in and they never really work the way a brake should.

yes I understand, braking in cross isnt a big deal, but if you are going to spend hundreds of dollars on a brake set, i think they should at least function. I had tried running a pair of spooky brakes. It just did not work. You can not toe in the pad and I had problems with the brake arm binding against the canti post. my 2 cents.
