Paul Component Touring Cantilever Brake

From $295.00

This is Paul’s take on the modern low-profile cantilever brake. Like all Paul brakes they’re CNC’d from aluminum and has individual return-spring tension adjustment for ease of brake alignment. It takes V-brake style pads, so that adjustment is easier and toe-in is controllable. The pads it comes with are Koolstop Salmon Thinlines.

These are extremely powerful if you can set the straddle fairly low – great for cyclocross bikes, but not as good if you want to use 2″ tyres and mud guards. In fact, in our experience they are more powerful then the Neo-retro under optimal conditions. The lower profile also makes them is useful if you find yourself clipping the arms on wider brakes.

99g per wheel without pads. Price is per wheel.

The Touring Canti is a powerful cantilever brake with a similar design to the Neo-Retro, but with the arms angled upward. This gives the brake a much narrower profile without significantly reducing stopping power.

The narrower profile of the Touring Canti can be desirable if you’re riding with large panniers or if your current brakes don’t give you enough heel or calf clearance.

The arms of the Touring Canti are machined from lightweight 6061 aluminum. Their T-shaped cross section prevents the brake from flexing too much under load.

The brake pads mount to slots in the arms that allow for vertical positioning. The toe-in and angle can be fine-tuned thanks to the spherical washers on the brake pads’ threaded posts.

Like all of our brakes, the Touring Canti has a sealed pivot mechanism. Rubber seals and a stainless steel bushing keep the brake arms turning smoothly no matter what you’re riding through. The spring tension can be adjusted in both pivots to center the brake and to adjust the strength of the return swing.

The Touring Canti comes with pivots pre-greased and with all necessary hardware.

We recommend running the Touring Canti with a lower straddle wire to maximize stopping power. Having the cable carrier between 1″ inches and 2″ above the tire is a good range.
