Cyclocross and Gravelbiking (Recreational) This has to be the most physically intense sport ever invented. It's high speed bicycle racing on a short off road course or riding the off pavement rides on gravel like : "Unbound Gravel". We also have a dedicated Racing forum for the Cyclocross Hard Core Racers.

Cantilevers do fine for my style and more importantly my wrenching skilllzz. I struggle with setting up these TRP Euro-X Carbons.

Here is a cool profile of my bike, before I bought it.

Bikes changed some since.

FWIW, I have the Tektro RX5's which at 85mm pull length are similar to the TRP CX8.4's 84mm pull length and I am running Kenda Happy Mediums in a 40C size and don't have any issues with clearance.
