Fouriers Cantilever Brakes

So I was on ebay looking at some new cantilevers to replace the very very economical Tektro Oryx brakes on my LHT and ran across these ...

These look amazingly like VO cantilever brakes at a much reduced price .... Has anyone tried a set ? If so what do you think of them ?

If you're going to spend over $100 on cantis I would skip the VO and the China specials and go straight to Paul cantilevers. Work better, look better, and made in the US.

I haven't tried these but I can't imagine anything working better and adjusting easier than the Paul's.

I have looked really hard at Paul Cantis , seriously tempted as I have heard nothing but awesomeness about their brakes

i second the paul canti's. if i had that kind of dough to put into brakes, that would be the choice. i've not owned any, but have ridden a bike with the neo's. they felt awesome.

search ebay. right now there are some hot deals
