What's the concensus on the Tektro CR720's?
Decent, and look cool. As usual, good quality pads and cable outers make a difference.

The best cantis are shorty ultimates then trp eurox/revox the shimano cx70 then tektro 720. Always swissstop/koolstop pads.
Cantis are better than mini V. Front braking performance can be improved drastically by using fork mounted cable stop.
If you are tight on budget you can find some mafac touring ones knackered on ebay and restore them, koolstop makes pads for them.

Fiddled some with the Pompino and fitted the 650b front wheel just to get a feel on how much space I had in the frame and I was suprised by the amount. 47mm Byway fits with GB 26" 60mm fenders.
That gives me ideas.
Are there any rims other than Velo Orange Voyager that has a machined sidewall for rim brake?Always look to SJS first - https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/rims-tape/32-thorn-275-650b-584-disc-rim-black/
It says V-brake and disc but I'm thinking cantis.

Also thinking about coldsetting, but going from 120mm OLD to 130mm might be a gamble.
