I changed 1 bike from cantis to BMX V brakes - they have a shorter arm length than MTB V brakes, so you get a bit more control, but the cable does hang lower so might not work with bigger tires
The bite was incredible, and took some getting used to, but its about the best brake I've ever had on a rim brake road bike.
