I have some tektro cantis, and the yoke has two screws that pinch the cable once you've set the 'center' balance on the arms, so that it pulls evenly.
Ive been wondering if this is needed, and if a yoke with a pulley like the one on those centerpull would allow the brakes to balance themselves?
You don't generally need to pinch the cable on the yoke, that's useful to ensure both pads move in evenly.
Usually there's a screw on both side that allow you to adjust both pads.
