Hi
My LBS has suggested this as a decent, lowish price canti brake to use on my new cyclocross frame. I'll be primarily using it as a daily hack, for general trails but also potentially doing some light touring. I know I'm not going to get fantastic stopping power at that budget but just want to check it's a decent enough starting point.
Any views?
Thanks

It's an Uncle John with this fork: http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/FOP ... cross-fork
Assumed I could only use cantis - used to road bikes, and know bugger all about their muddier brothers

Your brake levers are probably designed to be used with cantis.
Once set up properly, Vs really aren't any stronger than cantis - all about leverage ratios.0
