How do Suntour XC SE (Self Energising) cantilever brakes work? Are there moving parts that make them different from non-SE callipers? I have contacted Suntour all over the globe without success. I am a bit concerned about the seat stays flexing too much if the brakes ******.



I gather you only fit them to the rear wheel,


I have to replace 2 sets of rear brakes damaged in crowded bike parks in Netherlands. V-style brakes will not work correctly with the existing levers. I can buy the Suntours for £5.00 so they are a real bargain. I appreciate that other cantis will be better (frogglegs), but a lot more expensive.
