cantilever vs. v-brake

[youhaditcoming]

Hi

I've noticed Cyclo Cross bikes are still equiped with Cantilever brakes despite the common use of v-brakes in MTB or touring bikes nowadays for example. Which one works better ?

Thanks

cantilevers work road brake levers, vbrakes need a different leverage ratio that road levers dont provide....

thats all i know, and i think thats all there is to it as well.
