Beware if you are buying from that shop.

anyone know where to get very cheap cantilever brake?

mine from my very old mtb is spoiled already.

Was plan to convert to V brake, but V brake need to change new brake lever. I heard cantilever brake lever not fully compatible with V brake ones. But my old bike brake lever is combined with my gear shifter sweat.gif
*
Now V-brake mix china brand are cheap but I not sure how good it is because no chance to try it. Mix china brand alloy brake lever cable model also very cheap.

Your current brake level is shimano tourney / sis example ST-EF500? If yes there seem got mini adjustment to swap either C brake or V brake setting. You can try both if still can not meet your requirement then can just change brake lever.

If you want to buy original whole set shimano brake + shimano shifter then become costly.

Currently a lot shimano low end entry component are counterfeit especially tourney / sis and tons of altus 3x7 3x8 speeds shifter are fake selling around with extremely low price like RM2x per pair.

Another suggestion is you can just buy alloy china brake lever and V brake but for shifter you can buy shimano from rodalink.

my brake lever is very old type, Much older than tourney you mentioned. This bike is my childhood bike, it goes all the way back in early 2000. The shifter is working perfectly I really dont want to change it. Easiest option is to replace a cheap Canti brake.

but it is so difficult to find canti brakes, not even China cheap brand make them. Thats why I ask here.
thanks for the picture. But my very old brake lever have no adjustment, it only has V position mode. Model I think is ST-EF25

No doubt on the shimano low end shifter, it really amazing.

Now I simply search seem only have 2 brand new option:

Tektro CR720 Cantilever:

and Shimano BR-CT11

Tektro is more expensive.

Or you can try your luck see local bike shop got old stock near your location?

haiz, no choice, I think have to find time to ask my bicycle technician friend properly regard using V brake with Canti brake lever. If put in, as long can apply some braking power, I will just cincai buy the RM10-20 China make V brake and be done with it. That old bike is use for slow casual Bangla ride lock everywhere type.

If I wanna serious exercise I got newer XT groupset XC hardtail for that, so no need serious braking power for old bike.  biggrin.gif

If you dont mind china/local brand can top up abit to RM1.1K-1.2K for much better spec.

try find Crossmac PSD6 or TRS hottest

Crossmac PSD6 (3x11 speed), body frame a bit small if you taller than 165cm
https://bicyclebuysell.com/item/520010/cros...27-5er-33-speed

TRS hottest (2x10 speed)
this link below posted 4 months ago, not sure got stock or not left.

Actually some china product even it cost cheap but actually it is good. But before that we need to try it out so still got risk out there.

You know why? Bike in this price range are selling in large volume and high demand in market but low profit margin. This is why always out of stock.

salute your persistence.

Recently got 1 bike shop selling cheap Merida brand new hard tail 26" frame old stock with only 1 size 1 color around RM3xx~Rm4xx. So with the left over RM400 you can simply get all the shimano tourney groupset and SR suntour XCT or XCM fork and those china made handle bar + stem + headset + rim + tyre + seapost + saddle + handle grip.

RM800 ride a world branded MTB is not a dream.

I seldom direct introduce a shop because if anything happen later become blaming issue.

Sometime you need to find out yourself. I just provide another alternative suggestion so that you can explore more on it and make use the budget you have to get the best deal for it. Good luck.

Polygon is good value for money. Great choice as entry level or first full sus bike.

Maybe last time polygon bike really a good choice for "value of money", but seem not now. Their full sus bike have a lot models which coverage entry level too.

after doing some research found this Polygon Cascade 2 2021 within my budget range with decent spec

any comment from sifus?

for beginner and leasure ride ( non fabio wibmer style ) tongue.gif

buy your bike already? Majority entry level bike only got 1 size. If you are not too tall or not too short then it is suitable. Else you will feel uncomfortable if ride long time.

Some time it can be adjust by seatpost, stem, handle bar or crankset.

Shimano release new square cartridge BB to replace UN55 UN26

BB-UN100
user posted image

This one only 1 size. Hard to tackle the chainline.

BB-UN300
user posted image

This one housing had change from resin to aluminum.

Shimano claim that UN-300 had Better chainline stability with chain line stabilizer. Just add 1 rubber washer only to get this feature? The UN-100 also got add 1 more rubber washer.

Anyhow, cartridge BB extreme durable and have very good dust and water resistant too. People if wish to replace this type Shimano BB better alert on this news.
