I've got a genesis day one with V brakes. I want to fit some cantis.
They'll fit the v brake bosses won't they?
Thinking about it they definitely will won't they, I put V's on an old MTB that had cantis on it years ago...
Yes but why would you want to?
purely for looks! white frogleg cantis, against crappy tektro V's
they may fit but they wont work 😉 you have tried canti brakes right?
Set up properly canti brakes are just fine. You may need to get a rear cable stop and maybe a fork mounted cable stop too.

most cyclocross riders seem to do OK
v brakes are shimanos version of linear pull canti lever brakes. In other words v brakes are a subset of canti lever brakes.
Do you have the correct pull levers for normal cantis?
I'll be buying new levers too...

i run my cx with canti, mine work pretty good i think, but v's tend to have better stoping power if thats what your after
