After 10 happy years of riding my kaff I have had it resprayed and tarted up a bit.
I have had mini V's on my bike but they were well just a pain full stop and I was never happy with them.
I changed to Avid shortie canti's and well they were just poo
So with gilding the proverbial I lashed out on a set of TRP cx 8.4 mini V's, easy to set up and a short spin has been a revelation WOW they work an absolute beaut
Highly recommended

I had a bike fit in January and as part of the changes a brake cable was changed and the shop set up the cantis. I can't believe the difference! I've nearly been over the bars a few times. Tektro CR720s on the front and basic shimano ones on the back. So, it may not just be he type or brand of brakes but more the set up of them which appears to be a dark art . . .
