""So I am assuming that V-brakes have a big following as well over the cantilevers.""
' Switched from front and rear Canti's to front and rear V Brakes (Avid SD-7's) two years ago on our older C'dale. While both setups stop our tandem well enough in most situations I prefer the Avid's. They have better feel/modulation and get the job done a bit more smoothly. These brakes, in combination with 28c Continental GP 4-Season tires, are confidence inspiring when it comes time to extend the bike a bit. We are a 310 pound team.
