Velo-Orange have special linkages that connect their Campeur Rack to the cantilever brake posts. It’s a very solid connection! Velo-Orange rack linkage

It looks like a perfect solution to a lot of rack issues I’m having.

Yes, it was too small. It worked but it wasn’t ideal. I switched it out with Velocity Cliffhangers.

may i ask how those wtb rims perform with rim brakes?
From the cross-section the wall thickness looks ok, even it’s a disc specific rim,
the braking surface might be a bit small.

Stunning build as usual!

Best regards from Germany
