Seeing as you're a mechanic, maybe you can help me. I don't have the greatest know how when it comes to bikes. Tubes and tires is what I know. How do you feel about cantilever brakes vs V brakes? I'm planning on changing my rockhopper to V brakes because the cantilever pads I can get don't fully stop me. I'm really hooked to your restoration now.
V-Brakes are alot stronger. They will stop you . The only disadvantage to V Brakes are that you need very true rims. Because the pad to rim clearence is much tighter on Vs. If your wheels are true this isnt much of an issue. Canti brakes even set up tight tend to have better mud clearence. If your rims are in decent shape. Go with the Vs.
