My bike is really old and lumbering and I don't want to spend money on it changing the brakes if I can help it!
20 mins is a good time for brake faffing, like Calf says, cantis are painful, but practice makes perfect, ever thought of taking up running, less equipment to go wrong Happy cycling and hope your back running fit soon
