I have a set of Avid Shorty 6 cantilever brakes on my Redline Conquest Pro frame with a set of STI
8-speed shifters (probably 105, but there are no labels left).
My question is about adjusting the brakes. It seems that when I adjust the brakes to be close enough
to the rim so that I don't have to move the lever very much before braking actually starts, then the
cable is too tight to be even possible to use the quick release on the brake (to remove the wheel).
I found the tightest the cable can be and still allow me to unhook the quick release, but that makes
the brake levers have too much travel for my taste.
Is there a way around that, or is that what I'm stuck with when using cantilevers and I'm just
spoiled from my Ultegra brake set on my road bike?
