Here we go - I'm in the "I hate canti brakes!" camp! IF they're not adjust correctly you get shuddering, squealing and chattering. Even if you do adjust them correctly, you get shuddering, squealing and chattering. Better to get mini-v brakes and be done with it!
Nevertheless, if you need fancy canti brakes, check out Bruce Gordon's "pointy" brakes - too cool! http://brucegordoncycles.bigcartel.c...tilever-brakes Expensive, but cool....Good Luck! Last edited by bfd; 03-12-2015 at 04:12 PM.

i'm with bfd re cantis. for me, good cantis = mini v
you can get as budget or bling as you like with them. other than mud clearance i've not heard of any areas where a good canti brake is better than a good mini-v.

do you think mini v brakes would work with older ultegra brifters?

I found a set of trp cx9 on ebay for 110$ I might go for it. Any experience group? Thanks for the feedback, I'm new to this forum and an amateur bike mechanic

wait for input from the collective here before pulling the trigger.
i'm not sure but i think for "older" ultegra you'll be happier with the cx8.4. i believe the cx9 is designed for shimano's newer pull ratio. cx8.4 is slightly shorter to work better with your cable pull
