Absolutely not. I had Cantilevers on my Tricross and they were abysmal, no matter how much I messed wiht them. Not simply “no as good” but “wicked dangerous”. Swapped them out got the trio v-brakes (no travel agent) and it’s 100 times better. Perfectly functional and safe bicycle now. As long as the fork doesn’t implode. Looks Bodge tho. Anyway…
