Anyone's strong opinions on V brakes vs. normal cantis? I have run both a fair amount and there's no denying the braking curve is a lot smoother with the cantis, but I can't seem to dig up an answer on exactly why V's aren't worth it. They seem far more tolerant of everything and piss-easy to set up, especially on the road. I'm tired of
>"oh, it's raining, better remember to double stop distances"
>"oh, I forgot to fix my toe-in yesterday, here comes the SHRRIIIIEEEEEEEEEK"
And yet everyone with posts, cx, touring, rando or whatever is still running cantis. V's seen only on walmart bikes. Are these oft-hinted at "good cantis" really THAT much better? Where can they be found? I have picrel with kool stops at the moment
