@Skülly I've had a google/eBay for Avid Shortys. They look great. My current brake setup (different to the above but I'm updating this as quickly as I can) is not ideal so I will consider that when/if changing. The faff of setting them up does bother me though.
I just hate the look of panniers. And the sort of deadness the steel frame feels when riding with a loaded one. My Brooke's bag does me fine. Also no gears for me! I just enjoy single speed too much.
Re cantis not working well, in this pic you have the yoke set quite far from the tyre, if you could lower it to get the straddle cable at a less pointy angle that might help. But cantis are fiddly to set up, better to get some v- or mini v-brakes.
