These feature a long lever arm for plenty of leverage and clearance for big tires. 6061-T6 aluminum construction to last a lifetime. Not as powerful as the Neo Retro's, but the Touring Canti's are narrower to give more space for panniers and ankles.
- Sold individually
- Designed to work with road levers (or old MTB levers that predate linear pull brakes)

Comments about Paul Components Touring Cantilever:
Very happy with this simple but very effective braking system. Easy to install and fits well over the mudguards on my touring bike. Swift dispatch to UK.

Comments about Paul Components Touring Cantilever:
The Paul Touring cantilevers are styled after the ancient Mafac cantilevers but in a low-profile (and more powerful configuration. See the large circular area in front of the brake pad mount? That circular area serves no other purpose than to visually mimic the old Mafacs. The Paul Neo Retro Cantilever shares this design feature.
That said, these are nicely made brakes and are lightweight with nearly infinite return spring adjustment (similar to Suntour XC pro cantilevers from the 1980's). Like other modern high-quality cantilevers (including linear-pull) they pivot on sealed sleeves instead of directly on the frame's brake bosses. This makes for longer service life with less play. Paul's makes available plenty of service parts so if something wears out or breaks you'll be able to replace it.
Most cyclocrossers will run the Paul Neo Retro in the front and the low-profile Touring cantilever in the back. (This is from the belief that the Neo Retro's are more powerful-- they are NOT, the low-profile Touring canti's are!)
I personally run the Neo-Retro in the front and the Touring in the back, but I'd rather mount the Touring in the front as well.
In any configuration the Paul cantilevers are as powerful as any "old school" cantilever that I've ever used. For even better performance, install Kool-Stop's "Cyclocross Pads" brake pads.
Superfluous style considerations aside, these make excellent additions to a classic steel cycocross bike build.
Comments about Paul Components Touring Cantilever:
These are the best. I had tried other cheaper items but they always fell short in either braking power or adjusting ability. If you are looking for a long term, lasting solution then purchase these. They do needthe occasional service. I do mine every 12 months (along with the rest of the bike). I ave been running these for over 6 years now.
