Tektro CR720 Cantilever Brakes
Grant Petersen once waxed poetic about these brakes for their smooth modulation and ever since I had to have 'em. I must say that mated to the Tektro RX4 Inverse Levers, this is some of the most pleasant and intuitive braking I have ever felt on any bike. Superior to the Shimano Ultegra 9-speed STI brake levers and V-brakes on my Cannondale T1000 touring bike; superior to the Cane Creek SCR-5 levers and Ultegra caliper brakes (BR-R600) with Kool-Stop brakepads on my Rivendell Rambouillet. Seen here on a Velo Orange Campeur singlespeed commuter. Complete build specs are available at this image in the album. Image made at W 19th and 9th Ave, NYC on a rainy summer afternoon.
