In post season CX race bike fettle, I have decided I am dissatisfied with the cantis on my colnago world cup. As a starter, I don't want to go disc - would mean a lot of effort and expense to swap race wheels etc. The problems I have are:

1) I have to let the front wheel down to get it out as when unlatched the front pads 'foul' on the forks - hardly great mid race
2) The pads are a pain to change as the screw is hidden by a bit of bike

A question....if I went adiv shorty, would this sort any of the issues out? Are there any other options?

I did try searching but found nothing.
