Not a clue on the tyres sorry.
There’s nothing wrong we canti’s, once you’ve got them set up properly. Sure there are better brakes, but if you accept that you need to pull them hard to stop and the first 3/4 of the pull only sort of slows you down they are fine.
This is great/awful! Also what tyres are those?
Cantis are indeed shit, but v brakes just look like someone was sick on a bike and it just happened to make that bike stop better.
