Cyclocross Rim Brake Upgrade

    Any advice on upgrading the rim brakes on my cross bike?

    Currently have a set of Tektro Oryx cantis but as the pads need replacing, and the drivetrain is getting an overhaul, I figure I may as well upgrade the calipers as well.

    What do most of you guys still rocking rim brakes use?

    I went from Tekro Oryx to Frogslegs and found them a worthwhile upgrade. Easier to set up for sure

    I use TRP EuroX cantis, work well for me. Avid Shorty Ultimates are good too.

    +1 on Avid Shorty Ultimates, expensive but offer a lot of adjustment, especially if you are an obsessive brake fiddler like myself!
