Kool-Stop pads and proper setup do wonders, although I still prefer any basic V-brake over a high-end canti. I don't really ride in mud tho...

That rack looks heavy, I wonder whether it's alu or steel?
-
Oh yeah, I forget about titanium.

The look of that rack really doesn't do it for me. Looks like someone tried to ikea hack a rack for their bike.
Also looks waaaay overbuilt. -
Definitely has that industrial kitchen aesthetic.

Can someone pls make this post a stickie?
I can't understand the appeal of putting weight over the front wheel and messing up your handling.That give the implications that the bicycles weren’t designed to run with a front rack in the first place.
Biggest factor; the fork (on top of its design to) take the weight leaving the frames free of rack keeping it nice and livery, as well as a better weight distribution compare to the traditional set up of rear rack only.
Weight distribution mean it actually easier to climb without the front wheel attempting to lift away from the tarmac, and greater traction while descending.

Ta! Yeah I like it, took about 400 miles to break in but comfortable for me now. It's steel rails with copper rivets. Did a 10 day tour with no issues so can't complain. I chose the Team Pro because it was the Bicycle Quarterly saddle of choice back when I started the build. Only negative is it's starting to squeak which can get annoying if I'm being picky.

£1,870.86 - stick a Crust sticker on it and that would be the frame price ;)

Riding canti’s on my current gravel build. Tektro 720 with Koolstop salmon adjustable pads. They work fine.
