I had a Saracen Skyline (pretty much a Dawes Galaxy)for several years and was never very excited by the brakes (cheap Shimano cantis). I replaced them with Tektro Oryxs which were quite good but always a bit nerve racking on long descents.
Now I have sold the bike and got a Koga Miyata World Traveller I can only say that I am sold on the flat bar concept which allows V brakes. Descending on the KMWT is a fantastic experience and pressure required on the levers is about a 10th of what I had to put in with cantilever brakes.
Not sure if that helps!!
