As a wrench doing a lot of work on cargo bikes, where mechanical discs are rapidly becoming the norm, at the end of the day I just want to ride my own bike and have it work, which is why most of my bikes have cantilevers. <br /><br />The truth is, i can see the argument for discs on cargo bikes, kind of, but people start talking about discs on bikes that definitely DON'T need them (road bikes and all-rounders) and I just say "ugh."<br /><br />The easiest brakes to set up powerfully out there are sidepull road calipers, but they have clearance limitations for anything but pure road riding.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02555455137344047158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-83945150870638034472013-06-13T09:19:13.027-05:002013-06-13T09:19:13.027-05:00@Josh Lederman: Too steep a head angle, BB drop is...@Josh Lederman: Too steep a head angle, BB drop isn't quite where I would put it.

I was dissapointed when I had my disc cross bike lose all braking capabiities before the first checkpoint of TIV6. <br />Everyone else opened up their cantis,cleaned them and rode on. My disc cross bike is also heavier and not as compliant as my regular crossbike with cantilevers. <br />Arihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13083766829086663770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-40819983709374223332013-06-13T08:45:41.491-05:002013-06-13T08:45:41.491-05:00Where does the All City Macho Man fall short of th...Where does the All City Macho Man fall short of the perfect "all rounder"?

But given the choice I would have gone with road brakes or something similar. But I realize the use of disc brakes gives me more tire clearance which I appreciate. I do love canti brakes but wouldn't want them on this bike. Never happy I guesss!<br />With more bike companies jumping on the disc brake/raod bike wagon better options will be available...time will tell if it sticks.<br />In the end they are bikes and bikes are fun!Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17445571969047082055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-59192133522547782192013-06-13T01:55:41.236-05:002013-06-13T01:55:41.236-05:00I sure like my V brakes....if I could I would have...I sure like my V brakes....if I could I would have mini-V brakes, or Paul moto-lites on all my bikes.

I know it's all about the bike industry trying to sell us stuff that previously we didn't need, but it would be interesting to see some impartial and dispassionate summarising of the issues. <br /><br />Ultimately I want a brake that is going to give me reasonable stopping performance in a range of conditions, and that isn't going to add drag when I don't want it. <br /><br />And as your previous post said, I don't care about the pro-peloton, or weight and aerodynamics (within reason). cowspassagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17444959925049139280noreply@blogger.com
