▼HELP SECTION

Profile Type - this refers to the angle between the cantilever arms and brake pads. Wide profile cantis have the greatest angle of well over 90 degrees, medium profile sit at around 90 degrees and low profile have a very narrow angle of under 90 degrees meaning they sit closer to the frame.

Post Distance (ctc) - older cantilevers were designed for frames with mounting posts around 55 - 65 mm apart (measured from the centre of one to the other), at some point after the 1980s the posts were positioned further apart (between 77 - 85 mm). The later, wider variety cannot be used on older bikes with the narrow post distance, so we’ve categories these into ‘wide’ and ‘narrow’ to determine which cantilevers will fit your bike.
