 My cantilever brakes had no problem with the toe in.  They squeaked
when I installed new wheels, and putting a little oil on the rim
prevented them from producing the noise.  The next ride, Mother Nature
gave me a chance to test them in wet conditions.  They still performed
like a dream.  They squeak no more, once was enough.  Why are people so 
opposed to putting oil on their rim(s)?
