Any good all weather ones for MTB cantis, cheaper is better. Not sure if canti pads are different from V brake pads though ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Favourite V brake pads I've used are Koolstops.

Thanks.

They make Koolstops for cantis.

Maybe it's just me but rather than fannying about trying to make cantis work adequately, I'd replace the whole thing with inexpensive Vs- the standard pads that came with my cheapo Avids work better all-in than the koolstops in my old shimano cantis.

But then admittedly I am quite down on cantis, they're just wrong.

Not with standard Vs. But you can use BMX Vs with road STIs so I suspect that also means you can use them with mtb V-levers- not 100% on that one.
