Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

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.

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

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I had them set parallel to the rim as they tell you to

    So i tried cleaning the rims real well and cleaned the pads even though they did not have much use yet

    One wheel got better but the other was still pretty bad
