That might be true but they better be good ones. Went that route in 2017 but never got the Mafacs to do more than scream while they kinda slowed me down. Same deal with the Dia Compe cantis on the several Voyageurs I’ve owned. If I ever go canti again it will be with something like Paul’s using modern levers.
Moving to a dual pivot caliper (in my case, Tektro branded) with quality later SLR style levers resulted in actual nicely modulated braking performance instead of mere speed attenuation. Yes, there are some tire width and fender limitations.
