Pros & Cons
Pros
Some of the best canti brake pads out there. They are super long and super grabby. It's also cool that you can still get a quality product like this for old cantilever-style brakes.

They are very responsive and when aligned properly to the rim they don't squeak.
Running these on a 700c bianchi bike. I'm a cheapskate who doesn't want to buy another bike any sooner than necessary. They are a little trickier to set up due to the longer length.
Cons
The image is wrong, so in my quick order i saw the threaded version (but the threaded style was selected) so the wrong part was sent. Have tried thoroughly cleaning rim surface to no effect. They squeak terribly. Would not buy again.
