low profile type canti-brakes?_ The newer ones have two advantages.
1. They aren't as wide to avoid problems clearance problems
with panniers and clipping your heels.2. Easier ( IMHO ) to adjust with threaded ball and socket
v-brake type pads._ The older ones like these

are wider which has some advantages as outlined in
this article.sheldonbrown.comcantilever geometry.htmlOpen ↗
_ Personally, with an unlimited budget I'd get these
Old school geometry with the ease of V-brake pad style
adjustment, relatively expensive though._ Booker C. Bense
