  • Canti brakes - is there any reason why one shouldn't use the longer, offset (v-break) brake pads?

  • Depending on what brake/frame combo they might hit the seat stays when you open them up, but no big deal.

  • Canti blocks often have more meat on them but V-brake blocks should work fine. The only issue you may have is the trailing end of the blocks may fowl the forks. This could mean you won't be able to drop a wheel out without rotating the blocks.

  • I’ve seen bodge jobs with those pads set up, they seem to work fine aside from maybe some squealing. The post is usually a different width to cantis.
