Oh, I don't hate canti brakes. They're just more fussy to set up than the dirt-simple sidepulls on most older road bikes. And even more fussy to set up than V-brakes.

Once set up well canti brakes are very good. But at first it's a daunting chore when adjusting one thing affects everything else. But it's worth it to be able to ride in almost any conditions without mud jamming things, or to easily install fenders.
