This fork mount solved all of my shudder issues. Unless you feel like throwing all sorts of money at the problem I'd suggest you try this first. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006GHDRYC/
Maybe one of Problem Solver's cable hangers might help?

Or one of Origin8/Tektro's hangers that fork mount?

On my piece of shit Fuji Marlboro folding bike, I use the Origin8 fork mounted hanger, and it makes the amount of cable from hanger very short.
Here's one on Amazon.
I know this was a while ago, but I bought this with my 2013 Steilacoom RCX and just replaced it. I got a bolt/washer at Home Depot for $3 and I highly recommend it:

If your fork has a fender mount hole (though the steerer, below the crown), you can use a fork mount derailleur hanger instead of the above the headset orginal version. I used one on this bike
I have the 2012 (I think) version of this bike. I like it a lot (not love, but like). One of my biggest issues is the brakes. They really suck. Three recommendations are:
Other than that, just ride it well. Keep it lubed. I don't keep my very clean but I should. Also, if there is ever the opportunity, have your shop spray FrameSaver into the tubes to help protect them.
If you've got a hole in your fork for it, go with a fork mounted cable hanger. I'm 6'3", and have a long head tube, so hard braking would give me the dreaded canti-shudder. The fork mounted hanger fixed it, and braking is greatly improved.

If you stick with Cantilever brakes (I did) then I would suggest this tektro fork mount cable hanger instead: https://www.amazon.com/Tektro-Front-Cable-Hanger-Black/dp/B006GHDRYC/ref=asc_df_B006GHDRYC/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312111916046&hvpos=1o3&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9209235087896262264&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=t&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1020929&hvtargid=pla-568555982053&psc=1
I bought one like the one you linked to, but returned it for the post mounted one. More stable and easier to mess with. But you will need to get a longer mounting bolt. I just took it to ace hardware and they found me the right bolt for a buck or two.
Get a crown-mounted cable stop. Replace the old one with a spacer. Repair the threads with cutting die, thread file or needle file.
I can't take credit for solving anything. I bought it on Amazon.
I have cantis on my cross bike and they work just fine. I recommend a fork mounted cable hanger if your fork can hold one.
