Pros & Cons
Pros
These are amazing brakes. Mounted on a bmx with chrome rims so braking is a challenge to begin with. Tighten, un-tighten, adjust.
These pads fit my coda (cannondale) cantilever brakes. Purchased 2 pairs of these to replace the old dried-out pads on a 1984 schwinn le tour luxe.
Efficent no squelling. The old mafac racer centerpull brakes are powerful, but they have a tendency to squeal like a banshee.
Cons
Even though they are plenty powerful for braking, the squealing, even after toeing in is unbearable. The problem with these is they do not use the standard cup washers to allow adjusting toe in/out. Description says cantilever and the pics show smooth... Read More
Highlights
Quality
Great and easily modulated stopping power and quite as well
Work as advertised quiet brakes smooth and powerful
Old brakes were dried out and squealed terribly
The two different compounds make braking very predictable and progressive
Price
These are inexpensive and have great stopping power
They were reasonably priced and available so that helped influence my decision
You can pay more but you can’t get any better
For example search youtube for this titlebrake caliper mounting adjustment cantilever smooth postpros affordable
Competitiveness
Far better than other brands we have tried
Ill be comparing them with xlcs cantilever brake pads 12 the price for 2 pairsit is as advertised
Honestly theyre way stronger than the xlcs
For whatever reason these are getting harder to find as disc brakes get more popular i guess
