Avid stuff

I'm looking for some Avid Tridangles (canti brake crossover cable thingies).
Anybody's local bike shop have some hanging on the wall? These things have
been out of production for a long time and I'd like some for the
Bridgestone.

I'm kinda shooting in the dark since I don't know exactly what you're
looking for, but will any of these work?

The Weinmann is the closest but I believe the Avid's were wider and had set
screws to lock the cable against the carrier? It's been awhile.

I've got them in stock, as well as the Tektro copies (which I personally
prefer)

Check the intbike.com link for contact info.

Its an easy convetion go V brakes . And a lot easier
to adjust. Make sure you get V brake levers . I've done the
convertion a few times

That's all fine and good when you've got a bike that can readily accept Vs.
Sometimes, like with my Cadex (with road bike levers) or with certain small
framed Specialized or GT bikes, there is no really good way to install a
cable stop. Also, generally speaking, Cyclocrosses tend to prefer cantis.

A properly set up, adjusted, quality set of cantis are every bit as good as
V brakes. I like Vs primarily because it removes the need for built-in
cable stops.

mmm....Dangly parts. (from Harvey Birdman...adultswim.com)

I hear Salsa makes wider-than-normal dealies that improve lever feel and
brake response...but I have no real experience with them (my cyclocross days
begin tomorrow when I order my CrossCheck frame. Kickass).

Sorry my post was of little assistance.
